Summary
Cells were cultured from seven separate foetuses of sheep and transformation assays using simian virus 40 were carried out as both liquid and agar assays. Consistent differences were found in the transformation frequencies observed in the different tissues cultured. Consistent differences were also observed between liquid and agar assays.
Batches of SV 40 virus prepared from the original stock showed a high particle count in electron microscopy but a relatively low infectious titre.
