title: Neoplastic transformation induced by a direct perturbation of DNA.
abstract: Treatment of Syrian hamster embryo cells with 5-bromodeoxyuridine followed by near ultraviolet irradiation results in neoplastic transformation of these cells. This demonstrates that a direct perturbation of DNA is sufficient to initiate neoplastic transformation.
