Abstract
We isolated a simian virus 40 mutant, dl2194, which carried deletions in both early genes. One deletion removed 234 base pairs in the 54/59 region within the small-t-antigen coding sequence and the large-T-antigen gene intron. The second deletion removed 57 base pairs at the C terminus of the large-T-antigen coding sequence (0.20 map unit). dl2194 was a viable mutant, it carried a normal helper function for adenovirus growth on monkey cells, and it displayed the transformation properties of a small-t-antigen-negative single mutant. Therefore, none of the known large-T-antigen functions seemed to be altered by the C-terminal deletion.
