title: Malignant transformation of cryopreserved early passage syrian golden hamster cells by 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-acrylamide.
abstract: 2-(2-Furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-acrylamide (AF-2) induced the malignant transformation of secondary cultures of Syrian golden hamster embryo cells prepared from cryopreserved primary cells. Transformed cells grew in semi-solid agar medium and formed sarcomas when inoculated subcutaneously into non-immunosuppressed suckling hamsters.
