Abstract

Rescue of simian virus 40 (SV40) from hamster and murine cell lines transformed by nonirradiated or by ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated SV40 (10 −3 to 10 −5 survival) was studied. A combination of tests was employed to detect induction of SV40 synthesis: (i) co-cultivation with susceptible monkey kidney (CV-1) cells; (ii) treating mixtures of transformed and CV-1 cells with UV-irradiated Sendai virus (UV-Sendai) prior to co-cultivation; and (iii) plating untreated or UV-Sendai-treated mixtures of transformed and CV-1 cells with freshly trypsinized CV-1 cells. The first and second tests provided a measure of the total infectious SV40 yield per culture, and the third test provided a measure of the frequency of induction (fraction of transformed cells giving rise to infectious centers). With the combination of tests, SV40 was rescued in all trials from TSV-5 hamster cells, mKS-BU100 mouse cells, and from several lines of mouse kidney cells transformed by UV-irradiated SV40 (mKS-U lines). The frequency of induction was about 7 × 10 −2 for TSV-5 cells, about 3 × 10 −3 for mKS-BU100 cells, greater than 10 −4 for the mKS-U lines which were “good” yielders, and about 10 −5 to 10 −4 for the mKS-U lines which were “average” yielders. SV40 of a plaque type different from parental virus was rescued from four of the mKS-U cell lines. Virus was also easily rescued from: (i) tumor cells produced from the mKS-A line of transformed mouse kidney cells; (ii) mouse kidney cells transformed by SV40 which had been rescued from mKS-BU100 cells; and (iii) tumor cells (HATS) which had been produced by inoculating newborn hamsters with SV40 rescued from mKS-BU100 cells. The frequency of induction of HATS cells was of the same order of magnitude as the frequency of induction of TSV-5 cells. In a study of the kinetics of virus induction, it was shown that SV40 could be detected 28, 40, and 48.5 hr after UV-Sendai treatment of mixtures of CV-1 and TSV-5, HATS, or mKS-BU100 cells, respectively. Although all of the mKS-U lines contained the SV40-specific tumor antigen, some were poor virus yielders (SV40 was recovered in less than 50% of the trials) and five lines were rare virus yielders (SV40 recovered only once in four or more trials). Forty-eight mKS-U lines were nonyielders; SV40 was never recovered by any test used thus far. UV-Sendai-treated mixtures of pairs of nonyielder mKS-U lines with CV-1 cells also did not yield infectious virus. Various factors affecting rescue have been discussed. The mKS-U lines which were poor virus yielders, rare yielders, or which never yielded virus have been classified tentatively as “defective lysogens” which contain mutational lesions at loci essential for detachment of SV40 from integration sites or for SV40 replication, or for both.
