Study of the avian sarcoma virus infection of chemically transformed cells.
BHK-21/13 cells transformed with various chemical carcinogens and mutagens were tested for susceptibility to avian sarcoma virus infection. The chemically transformed BHK cells were highly tumorigenic. The treatment of these cells in vitro with avian sarcoma virus strain Schmidt-Ruppin D resulted in chemically transformed and viral infected cells with different rescuability of the integrated virus genome. The different rescuability is not due to the difference in virus penetration as was shown by vesicular stomatitis virus Schmidt-Ruppin virus pseudotype VSV(SR-D) technique. The sarcoma virus genome in the doubly transformed cells was not inducible by various virus inducers.
