Abstract excerpt
Abortive infection of BALB/c mouse embryo fibroblasts differing in p53 gene status (p53(+/+) versus p53(-/)(-)) with simian virus 40 (SV40) revealed a quantitatively and qualitatively decreased transformation efficiency in p53(-/-) cells compared to p53(+/+) cells, suggesting a supportive effect of wild-type (wt) p53 in the SV40 transformation process. SV40 transformation efficiency also was low in immortalized...
