RESUMO
Polyoma-transformed cells can revert in the properties characteristic of transformation, although they maintain the polyoma-specific T antigen. Transformed cells contain the same number of copies of polyoma virus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) per cell (eight) as revertants with a subdiploid or a subtetraploid chromosome number. The results indicate that the duplication of chromosomes in the subtetraploid revertants did not include the chromosomes that carry the viral genome. The virus DNA in both transformed and revertant cells was associated with high-molecular-weight cell DNA. Reversion of the properties of transformed cells was, therefore, not associated either with a decrease in number of virus DNA copies per cell or with a lack of association of the virus DNA with cell DNA.
