Morphology of tumors induced in Hamsters by Simian adenoviruses

Abstract

Subcutaneous hamster tumors induced by Simian adenovirus

Large‐ and small‐plaque variants of oncogenic simian adenovirus SA7(C8)

“…Oncogenicity of this strain for hamsters has been described earlier (Hull er al., 1965;Altstein et al, 1968).…”

“…Adenovirus SA7, C8 strain, isolated from the African green monkey Cercopithm1s aethiops, was kindly supplied to us by Dr. H. Malherbe (The Poliomyelitis Research Foundation, Johannesburg, South Africa). Oncogenicity of this strain for hamsters has been described earlier (Hull er al., 1965;Altstein et al, 1968).…”

“…Virus was titrated by the plaque method described earlier (Altstein et al, 1968~). Tissue cultures in 50 ml flasks (a surface area of about 20 cm2) with rubber stoppers were used.…”
