title: Syncytia formation of human transformed cell lines by simian sarcoma virus type I (SSV-I/SSAV-I).
abstract: Human cells derived from malignant tumors (HeLa, HEp-2 and KB) and human cells transformed by tumor viruses (KCand RSb) formed syncytia by simian sarcoma virus type I (SSV-I/SSAV-I), but human diploid or non-transformed cells (WI-38, HEL and HEC) did not.
