SV40 Virus-specific RNA Synthesis in Transformed Human Cells

Abstract

THE identification of the proteins specific to transformed cells, whether they are specified by virus or cell, is fundamental to the understanding of transformation by small DNA viruses1. Parallel DNA/DNA2 and DNA/RNA3 hybridization studies of SV40 and the nucleic acids from cells lytically infected or transformed by SV40 contribute to an understanding of the integration of the virus into the host cell genome. We have examined the species of SV40 virus-specified RNA produced in SV40-transformed human cells.
