Abstract excerpt
The acquisition of an extended lifespan and of neoplastic properties, including anchorage independence, ability to grow in low serum-containing media, morphological transformation, immortalization and tumorigenicity in nude mice were studied in 31 human fibroblast lineages transfected with plasmids containing the SV40 early genes. Plasmids were used that contained sequences for large T alone, or large T plus...
