Uniform representation of the human papovavirus BK genome in transformed hamster cells.

Abstract

The DNA of three cloned lines of hamster kidney cells transformed by human papovavirus BK DNA was examined by reassociation kinetics for viral sequences and found to contain 2.7 to 5.3 equivalents of viral DNA per diploid genome. In the one line examined with the four R-HindIII fragments of the human papovavirus BK genome, the entire viral genome was uniformly represented.
