RESUMO
Simian virus 40 tsA-transformed BALB/c-3T3 cells isolated as foci of overgrowth in liquid medium were compared with those isolated as colonies in soft agar. Efficiencies of transformation were equivalent in the two procedures. Cells isolated as foci were able to grow in agar and vice versa. No difference in temperature sensitivity of the transformed phenotype was detected when tsA transformants selected in agar were compared with those selected as foci. The use of the two different transformation procedures, then, did not form the basis for generation of different transformed phenotypes, and transformants generated in both ways were dependent upon expression of the A gene for maintenance of the transformed state.
