RESUMO
We studied the pattern of integration of the simian virus 40 (SV40) genome into the cellular DNA of N-transformants (temperature sensitive) and A-transformants (temperature insensitive) derived from 3T3-Fisher rat and Chinese hamster lung cells. The SV40 DNA was covalently linked to the cellular DNA in both types of transformants. In the rat cells, most N-transformants contained SV40 sequences integrated at a single site; most A-transformants contained SV40 sequences integrated at two to five sites. In the Chinese hamster cells, no significant correlation between the number of integration sites and the phenotype of the transformant was found; one of three integration sites were observed for both the N- and A-transformants. Single copies and tandem repeats of SV40 sequences were observed in A- and N-transformants derived from rat cells. A-transformants arise neither by amplification of the SV40 genome nor by integration at a unique site.
