Rat cells (3Y1) were transformed by theHindIII-G fragment of adenovirus 12 DNA and cloned in solft agar cultures, and transformed cell lines (GY1, GY2, and GY3 cells) were established. Part of theHindIII-G fragment of adenovirus 12 DNA was the only viral DNA sequence present in GY1 cells. The characteristics of CY1 (a rat cell line transformed by theEcoRI-C fragment of adenovirus 12 DNA), GY1, and WY3 cells (a rat cell line transformed by the whole viral DNA of adenovirus 12) were examined. The growth of each transformed cell line was unlimited as compared to that of untransformed 3Y1 cells. Complement fixation and immunofluorescence suggested that CY1 and GY1 cells contained T antigen, while WY3 cells contained both T antigen and DNA-binding protein. CY1, GY1, and WY3 cells induced tumors in rats after transplantation. In the serum of rats bearing CY1 or GY1 cell tumors only antibody to T antigen was detectable, while antibodies to both T antigen and virus-induced DNA-binding protein were present in the serum of rats bearing WY3 cell tumors. These results show that the transforming gene is located on the left end (7.2%) of adenovirus 12 DNA and suggest that T antigen is among the gene products coded for by this region of the genome.
