Abstract:
We have isolated an SV40 transformation revertant cell line, CL1L, by selection for normal cells whose growth is inhibited under low serum conditions. This line expresses a single, wild-type copy of large T antigen, yet is not transformed. It is not retransformable by transfection of SV40 DNA or infection with a recombinant retrovirus encoding large T antigen. Resistance to transformation therefore appears to be due to a cellular mutation. Fusion of CL1L cells to normal 3T3 cells or SV40-transformed cells results in somatic cell hybrids that are transformed, indicating that resistance is recessive. In addition, fusion of CL1L cells to another SV40 transformation-resistant line, A27, results in transformed hybrids, indicating the existence of discrete complementation groups with respect to SV40 transformation.
