Thin tissue slices from cutaneous papillomas of 10 patients and from normal skin of 3 patients were exposed to thymidine-H 3 in vitro for 3–5 hours, and processed for radio-autography. An abnormal pattern of thymidine-H 3 incorporation was detected in the papillomas. All of the 10 tumors showed label in the nuclei of the superficial well-differentiated granular cells as well as in basal and spiny cells. Within the granular layer there was a tendency for the labeled cells to occur in foci. The label in the normal skin was restricted to the basal and parabasal cells. Mitotic figures were detected only in the basal and parabasal cells of the papillomas and epidermis. The proportion of basal cells labeled varied from 2.6–13 per cent in the tumors; in the norml epidermis it was about 4.5 per cent. Six of the 10 papillomas were examined under the electron microscope and virus particles morphologically typical of those previously found by others were demonstrable in all 6 tumors. We have previously reported DNA synthesis in granular cells of virus-induced papillomas of rabbits, bovines and canines, but we did not find thymidine-H 3 incorporation into granular cells of chemically-induced papillomas. The available evidence is consistent with the concept that the causative papilloma virus is responsible for the synthesis of DNA in the well-differentiated granular cells. Whether this new DNA, is virus DNA, virus-induced cellular DNA or both, is unknown. However, there seems to be no plausible alternative to the concept that it is the result of virus-directed DNA synthesis. Abnormal DNA synthesis may be a useful marker for detecting masked viruses in some types of tumors in which well-differentiated cells incapable of mitotic division can be identified.
