Malignant transformation of BHK21 clone 13 cells by BK virus--a human papovavirus

E O Major et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1973 Nov.

BK virus, a widespread human papovavirus, is shown to cause malignant transformation of BHK(21) clone 13 cells. The transformed cells grow as tumors upon inoculation in adult hamsters. The question of the possible role of this virus in human neoplasia is raised.
