Evidence for animal origin of cells and rescued tumour virus from a putative human osteosarcoma cell line.
Human osteosarcoma cell lines T 1 and ZT 1 were analyzed for host origin. The results indicated that these lines must have been contaminated with rat x mouse hybrid cells. The isolated virus was identified as an avian sarcoma virus belonging to the C subgroup.
