Abstract
Human cells doubly transformed by Rous sarcoma virus and SV40 (RSb cells) formed syncytia by cocultivation with Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV)-producing cells. This cell fusion was blocked by anti-MPMV serum indicating that the phenomenon is MPMV specific. The RSb cells were successfully used for MPMV infectivity assay in the same manner as KC cells.Keywords
