RESUMO
Nonhybrid adenovirus 2 (Ad2) and five nondefective Ad2-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrids (Ad2+ND1-Ad2+ND5) failed to produce tumors when injected into newborn hamsters. However, each of these agents transformed hamster kidney cells in vitro, and the transformed cell lines produced tumors when injected into suckling hamsters. Foci of cells transformed by the hybrids could not be distinguished from foci of cells transformed by nonhybrid Ad2. Histopathologically, tumors induced by the nondefective hybrid-transformed lines were of the adenovirus type with no areas of SV40-type fibrosarcoma. All of the cell lines studied contained Ad2 T antigen and Ad2 RNA. Only the B55HK1 line contained the three early SV40 antigens, U, TSTA, and T. The ND4HK1 line contained SV40 T and TSTA antigens (the latter antigen being detected only after 48 to 49 tissue culture passages) and SV40 RNA. The ND2HK2 line contained SV40 RNA but no detectable SV40 antigens; the other hybrid-transformed lines contained no SV40 RNA. The transformation of hamster cells by the nondefective Ad2-SV40 hybrids seemed to be caused by the Ad2 genome and could not be attributed to the regions of the SV40 genome contained within the hybrids. Additionally, these results indicate that interactions between the genomes of the nondefective hybrid viruses and the hamster cells they transform are complex and could involve the site of integration, the size of the incorporated viral genome, the transcription or translation of the viral genome, or various combinations of these processes.
