Adenovirus type 12 gene 401 function in transforming infection. 1978

N Ledinko

The temperature-sensitive DNA-minus mutant, H12ts401, transformed two to eight times more hamster embryo cells than wild-type 12 adenovirus at 38.5 degrees C, but was unable to establish transformation of cultures of hamster embryo brain and rat 3Y1 cells at 41.5 and 40 degrees C, respectively. Another H12ts406 DNA-minus mutant was not defective in cell transformation at these restrictive temperatures. Both mutants, however, induced T-antigen and cell DNA synthesis after infection of 3Y1 cells at 40 degrees C.
