Simian Virus 40-Induced T and Tumor Antigens

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Antigen extracts from simian virus 40 (SV40) transplanted hamster tumors were studied by rate-zonal centrifugation. Three species or molecular forms of antigen were demonstrated. The major antigen component corresponded to a molecular weight of 65,000 to 75,000, and two larger species were detectable in smaller quantities. Similar studies were carried out on SV40 virus-induced T antigen from BSC-1 cells. Three antigen components were again detected. Quantitative differences in the expression of “T” and tumor antigen species were reproducibly found.
