Induction of sister chromatid exchanges by transformation with simian virus 40. 1978

W W Nichols, and C I Bradt, and L H Toji, and M Godley, and M Segawa

The frequency of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) has been followed sequentially after the addition of SV40 to human diploid fibroblast cultures. The SCE frequency was nearly the same in uninfected controls and in infected cultures before they became tumor antigen positive. When cells exhibited tumor antigen, the SCE frequency increased over a wide range, and changes in chromosome number and structure were observed simultaneously. Cells with induced chromosome abnormalities without increased SCE's and the reverse present the possibility that the two phenomena have different viral mechanisms. This increase in SCE can be added to the previously demonstrated change in chromosome number and increase in chromosome breakage and rearrangement as indicators of genetic damage associated with viral transformation.

D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D003434 Crossing Over, Genetic The reciprocal exchange of segments at corresponding positions along pairs of homologous CHROMOSOMES by symmetrical breakage and crosswise rejoining forming cross-over sites (HOLLIDAY JUNCTIONS) that are resolved during CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION. Crossing-over typically occurs during MEIOSIS but it may also occur in the absence of meiosis, for example, with bacterial chromosomes, organelle chromosomes, or somatic cell nuclear chromosomes.
