Abstract
INFECTION of chick embryo fibroblasts with Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) induces a cell-specified plasminogen activator 1. Induction occurs with transforming viruses but not with lytic viruses or with oncornaviruses which are not themselves transforming 2. Similarly, many mammalian cell lines and embryo cultures transformed with either viruses or chemical carcinogens may be high producers of plasminogen activator in contrast to their untransformed counterparts 3–6. A correlation has been demonstrated between production of plasminogen activator and various features of the transformed phenotype, such as cell locomotion, morphology and loss of anchorage-dependent growth 4,7. Several established cell lines which are not highly tumorigenic or transformed by the usual criteria are, however, active producers of plasminogen activator; there are examples also of transformed or tumorigenic cell lines which do not produce significant levels of plasminogen activator 3,8–10.
