Malignant transformation of hamster kidney cells by BK virus

M Portolani et al. J Virol. 1975 Feb.

Abstract

Primary hamster kidney cells were transformed by BK virus, a new human papovavirus. Transformed (HKBK) cell produced BK virus T antigen and induced tumors in hamsters that developed antibodies to BK virus T antigen. BK virus was rescued from HKBK cells by Sendai virus-assisted fusion with permissive cells. One out of six cell lines derived from HKBK cell-induced tumors showed the same characteristics as HKBK cells.
