RESUMO
Analyses of the hybridization kinetics of labeled herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) DNA with DNA from five hamster cell lines transformed by UV light-irradiated HSV-2 revealed the following. (i) Viral DNA sequences were detected in all five cell lines tested. (ii) None of the cell lines contained the full complement of HSV-2 DNA. (iii) The amount of viral DNA present in the cells varied in different transformed cell lines and ranged from 8 to 32% of the HSV-2 DNA genome in 1 to 3 copies/cell. (iv) Two parallel passages of the same cell line (333-2-29) differed in the amount of viral DNA they contained. We also compared the viral DNA sequences present in (i) one transformed cell line (333-8-9) propagated serially in culture for 80 passages, (ii) a tumor produced by inoculation of a newborn hamster with the 333-8-9 cells, and (iii) a cell line derived from a hamster tumor as above and propagated in culture for 32 passages. The results show that viral DNA present in the hamster tumor and in the cells derived from the tumor had a lower sequence complexity than that present in the original serially passaged 333-8-9 cell line.
