Abstract
We have isolated morphological transformants of cultured cells as dense foci on a monolayer of normal cells appproximately 4 weeks after microinjection of purified simian virus 40 DNA (200 to 400 molecules per cell) directly into the nucleus. Both Rat 1 (an established contact-inhibited rat embryo fibroblast line) and F1' 1--4 (a 5-fluorodeoxyuridine-selected flat revertant from the simian virus 40-transformed 14B cell line) were transformed with an efficiency of 5 to 10% of the cells injected. F1' 1--4 is not susceptible to retransformation by either viral or DNA infection (by calcium phosphate-facilitated cellular uptake), and as a result it had previously been thought to possess a host mutation preventing expression of the simian virus 40 genome.
