Abstract
The isolation and characterization of four groups of BK virus (BKV)-transformed rat embryo fibroblast (RE) and mouse kidney (MK) cells are described. They consist of (1) seven RE lines transformed with a BKV pool containing a high proportion of defective virions, and (2) 16 RE, (3) 14 Balb/c-MK and (4) 2 Swiss ICR-MK lines, all transformed, at different input multiplicities, with a pool of BKV free of defective virions.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
