Summary
3Y1 rat fibroblasts transformed by adenovirus type 12 or by its E1A gene formed syncytia when cocultivated with the Friend as well as other ecotropic murine leukemia-virus-producing cells. In contrast, the parental 3Y1 cells and those transformed by other tumor viruses or by a chemical carcinogen exhibited no syncytium formation.
