Effect of cyclophosphamide on syngeneic transplantation of adenovirus 12-transformed tumor cells in C3H/he mice.

We tested the cyclophosphamide effects against the growth of adenovirus-transformed cells and the subsequent tumor development in the syngeneic host. Cyclophosphamide did not show any effect on the tumor evolution when injected 24 and 6 hours before cell implantation. Cyclophosphamide injected 24 or 39 hours after cell implantation prevented or retarded the tumor growth. In mice bearing palpable tumors, it induced their complete regression in 85,7% of the animals, but did not effect the development of the homograft immunity.

Sialic acid content in four cell strains transformed by adenoviruses and/or SV40.

The sialic acid content in hamster cells primarily transformed by adenovirus was found lower than in cells transformed by papovavirus SV40. Intermediate concentrations were shown in a cell strain transformed by an adenovirus-SV40 hybrid. An adenovirus 19 - transformed cell strain derived from the NIL-2 hamster cell line, adapted to unlimited growth in vitro prior to the exposure to the adenovirus, revealed a high content of sialic acid. The concentration of sialic acid in cells transformed by DNA-viruses may depend both on the transforming virus and on the preceding history of the cell line. The tumors revealed more sialic acid than the in vitro cultures derived from the same cell strains. This finding is discussed.

Characterization of the T antigen induced by SV40.

3 or 4 antigenic SV40 specific components were established in hamster tumors induced by SV40-transformed cells, using linear sucrose gradient centrifugation and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. The lightest component, approximate molecular weight 21,000, did not inhibit the nuclear staining of SV40-transformed cells in the fluorescent antibody inhibition test.

Variation in properties of plaque progeny of PARA (defective simian papovavirus 40)-adenovirus 7.

One hundred and twelve progeny from double plaque-purified clones were derived from the original PARA (defective simian papovavirus 40)-adenovirus 7 population. These progeny were found to differ in their oncogenic potential in newborn hamsters with progeny from 20 clones not inducing any tumors during 1 year of observation. The varying tumorigenicity of the individual clonal progeny was not related to the titer of PARA (particle aiding replication of adenovirus) in the inoculum. There was a perfect correlation between the tumor antigen content of the tumor cells and the antibody response of the tumor-bearing host. The tumors containing both adenovirus and simian papovavirus 40 (SV40) tumor antigens appeared earlier than those carrying only SV40 tumor antigen. Progeny from clones which induced mixed tumors also produced tumors which contained only SV40 tumor antigen. Three variants of PARA were isolated which induced the synthesis of SV40 tumor antigen in the cytoplasm of infected simian cells; all other clones yielded progeny which induced synthesis of SV40 tumor antigen in the nucleus.
