Mouse embryo fibroblasts and 3T3 cells were transformed by wild-type, tsB4, tsA7, tsA58, and tsA209 simian virus 40. Clones of transformants were generated both in soft agar and in liquid medium by focus formation and at both high and relatively low multiplicities of infection. All transformants were assayed for three phenotypes of transformation: (i) the ability to form highly multinucleated cells in cytochalasin B-supplemented medium, i.e., uncontrolled nuclear division; (ii) the capacity to continue DNA synthesis at increasing cell density; and (iii) the ability to form colonies in soft agar. The great majority of mouse embryo fibroblast transformants generated with tsA mutant virus were temperature sensitive for transformation in all three assays, regardless of the input multiplicity or whether they were generated in liquid medium or soft agar. These transformants exhibited a normal or near-normal phenotype at the nonpermissive temperature of 40 degrees C. All but one of the transformants which appeared transformed at both temperatures were in the A209 group. In contrast to mouse embryo fibroblasts, transformants generated with 3T3 cells and tsA virus were often not temperature sensitive, exhibiting the transformation phenotypes at both temperatures. This phenomenon was more often observed when 3T3 transformants were generated in soft agar. These results, along with other published data, suggest that uncontrolled nuclear division and uncontrolled DNA synthesis are a function of the simian virus 40 A gene. Finally, with the 3T3 transformants, there was often discordance in the expression of transformation among the three phenotypes. Some tsA transformants were temperature sensitive in one of two assays but were transformed at both 33 and 40 degrees C in the remaining assay(s). Other transformants exhibited a normal cytochalasin B response at either temperature but were temperature sensitive in the other assays.
