| Abstract: | The simian virus 40-induced tumor-specific surface antigen(s) (TSSA) and tumor-specific transplantation antigen(s) (TSTA)were detected in cells transformed by wild-type or temperature-sensitive mutant simian virus 40 by an antibody-mediated cytolytic assay for TSSA and an immunization test for TSTA. Cells transformed by tsA mutants, which lose their transformed phenotype when grown at nonpermissive temperatures, nonetheless do express TSSA and TSTA as well as T-antigen at both temperatures. |
