We developed clonal cell lines of human bronchial smooth muscle origin by retroviral transduction of temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large tumor (T) antigen. These cells show increased growth potential at 33 degrees C, but on shift to the nonpermissive temperature (39 degrees C), they show diminished or arrested growth. In addition to the expected reduction in the level of large T antigen, cells shifted to...
