Abstract excerpt
The ability of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6, GS strain) DNA to neoplastically transform established NIH3T3 cells was examined. Transfection of NIH3T3 cells with the intact genomic DNA (170 Kb) or the subgenomic clone pZVH14 containing an 8.7 Kb insert followed by focal or G418 selection resulted in the formation of morphologically transformed cells. When injected subcutaneously into nude mice, these cell lines gave...
