Reversion in polyoma-transformed cells: retransformation, induced antigens and tumorigenicity. 1969

G Marin, and I MacPherson

We studied the properties of two morphologically reverted cell clones isolated as chromosomal segregants from a "hybrid" clone of BHK 21/13 hamster fibroblasts, transformed with polyoma virus. Both clones were less tumorigenic than control transformed cells. They contained no detectable polyoma-specific complement-fixing antigen. Induced transplantation antigen also appeared to be lost or reduced. Both clones could be retransformed with polyoma virus, suggesting that their reversion is due to the loss of viral genes from the transformed cell.

D011120 Polyomavirus A genus of potentially oncogenic viruses of the family POLYOMAVIRIDAE. These viruses are normally present in their natural hosts as latent infections.

D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.
