Transformation of human cells from a thymidine kinase (ATP:thymidine 5''-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.75)-negative to a thymidine kinase-positive phenotype was achieved by using purified DNA from herpes simplex virus type 2. The specific activity of the DNA was in the range 0.5-2.0 transformants/.mu.g and the gene transfer efficiency was up to 1 transformant/105 recipient cells. Several transformed lines able to grow continuously in medium selective for thymidine kinase-positive cells were established. All of these lines express a thymidine kinase activity of viral origin but they differ from each other in the stability of enzyme expression. Subclones derived from a given transformed line inherited the degree of stability of the parental line.
