Abstract
Temperature-sensitive mutants of polyoma virus have been studied in an attempt to understand the genetic structure of the virus, and to identify the viral functions required to promote malignant transformation. Six temperature-sensitive mutants of polyoma fall into three classes on the basis of complementation and transformation at the nonpermissive temperature. Two mutants (class I) are able to synthesize infectious viral DNA, but not mature virus particles. These two mutants transform normally at the nonpermissive temperature. Three mutants (class II) are defective in the synthesis of infectious viral DNA and are also defective in transformation. One mutant (class III) is defective in the synthesis of infectious viral DNA, but transforms normally.

Polyoma virus induced transformation in four fibroblast clones derived from a culture of baby hamster kidney cells is found to be low, not due to these populations consisting of a mixture of genetically stable insusceptible and susceptible cells.

Conditional lethal mutants allow the use of selective techniques and thus provide a sensitive tool for performing marker rescue experiments to find out whether any of the genes of the transforming virus persist in the transformed cells.

Small amounts of “early” RNA are observed before virus DNA synthesis begins; during the later phases of virus development, there is a sharp increase in the amount of virus-specific RNA.

It has been found that infectivity is about 5 times more sensitive than transformation to UV and to the indirect effect of X-rays, however, both functions are equally resistant to the direct effect of ionizing radiation.

Four different methods of inactivation have been used-ultraviolet and X irradiation, nitrous acid, and P32-decay, and the target size of the transforming ability Was found to be 55-65 per cent that of the cytocidal ability.

The transforming and the plaque-forming ability of the same irradiated virus samples were determined by using virus of the small-plaque type, which has the highest efficiency of adsorption to the hamster cells, and data would support the hypothesis that the radiation target of the virus transforming ability is about 45 per cent of the size of thetarget of the lytic ability.

The data to be presented show that after either fusion of transformed with susceptible cells or productive infection of CV-1 cells, there is about a 16to 19-hour delay before infectious SV40 DNA is made.
