In marked contrast, in stationary-phase primary African green monkey kidney (GMK) cells, SV 40 infection leads to high yields of virus, highly efficient induction of T-antigen and extensive cell destruction (Carp & Gilden, 1966). The determination of the cause of these marked differences might clarify the mechanism of the transformation process. Previous results indicated that the virus adsorbed and entered into eclipse phase with equal efficiency for the two cell types (Carp & Gilden, 1966).", }
