Inoculation of simian virus 40 (SV40) into newborn hamsters can result in a broad spectrum of tumors derived from many tissue types (Tooze 1981). Subcutaneous injections of virus usually result in fibrosarcomas (Eddy et al. 1961); intracranial inoculations may produce gliomas, papillomas of the choroid plexus, and ependynomas (Gerber and Kirschstein 1962); and intravenous injections have given rise to leukemias, lymphomas, osteosarcomas, and reticulum cell sarcomas (Diamandopoulos 1972, 1978). In mice, attempts to induce tumors with SV40 have usually failed (see Tooze 1981). However, recent experiments suggest that small tumors may arise under special conditions of viral persistence and an altered host immune response (Ambramczuk et al. 1984). On the other hand, when the SV40 early-region genes were introduced into the germ line of mice, 65-90~ 70 of the transgenic mice developed tumors of a specific tissue type, the choroid plexus (Brinster et al. 1984 and pers. comm.). In these transgenie mice the expression of the SV40 large T antigen was generally limited to the choroid plexus tumors. Some mice expressed a low level of T antigen in the kidney and thymus, and cortical cysts of the kidney and thymic hyperplasia were observed occasionally (Brinster et al. 1984).Transgenic mice carrying deletions in the SV40. early region have served to demonstrate that the large T antigen, but not the small t antigen, is required for the production of choroid plexus papillomas (Palmiter et al. 1985; Table 1). It also appears that the SV40 enhancer region, the 72-bp repeat (Gruss et al. 1981), plays a role in the tissue-specific induction of choroid plexus papillomas but it is not essential for tumorigenesis (Palmiter et al. t985). Hybrid gene constructs with the T antigen gene have been used to demonstrate the general role of 5'-flanking sequences in controlling tissue
