Abstract

SUMMARY

Abortive transformation of human embryonic fibroblasts was induced by virus. The parameters studied in order to test the establishment of a persistent infection and transformation of cells were: (1) virus interference and interferon production; (2) alterations of cell morphology and growth; (3) presence of neoantigens; (4) karyotype. The possible mechanisms leading to an abortive transformation are discussed.
