Abstract
The family of papovaviruses comprises small icosahedral DNA tumor viruses that contain circular double-stranded DNA and whose coat consists of capsomers. Furthermore, they are ether-resistant and capable of transforming cells in vitro. Papilloma, polyoma, and simian virus 40 (SV40) are the most prominent representatives of this group, together with two more recently recognized virus species called BK and JC, which were isolated from human patients (Gardner et al., 1971; Padgett et al., 1971).
