A c-ras-Ki oncogene is activated, amplified and overexpressed in a human osteosarcoma cell line.

We present a characterization of an activated oncogene which we found to be present in DNA of the OHA osteosarcoma cell line. We identify this tumor oncogene which transforms Swiss mouse 3T3-cells, with c-ras-Ki 2, one of two known members of the Kirsten ras family of human proto-oncogenes. Its structural outlines are given and we show that: 1) a single point mutation causing a substitution of valine for glycine in codon 12 was found by DNA sequencing; 2) the c-ras-Ki gene is amplified and overexpressed in the original OHA tumor cells and its transformants and 3) the gene product is an abnormal form of the p21 protein.

[Detection of human antigens on the surface of mouse cells transformed by chromosome transfer].

Mouse embryo cells, transformed in vitro by the transfer of chromosomes from HeLa human tumour cells, express a surface antigen (s) also found on HeLa cells. This antigen(s), which has been detected both by indirect immunofluoresence and by a 125I-protein A binding assay, is not an antigen(s) shared by both Human and Mouse cells.

[Cell transformation in vitro by transfer of isolated metaphase chromosomes].

Human and murine cells can be transformed in vitro following transfer of chromosomes (transfection) isolated from tumour (HeLa) or SV40-transformed (WI98VaD) human cells. An abortive transformation of Mouse cells is observed in soft-agar medium. An instability of the transformed phenotype is exhibited by the transfected human cells, following the isolation of colonies growing in soft-agar or low-serum medium. Nevertheless, two transformed cell lines (809 ch. VaD, Cl.5P and Cl.6P) could be established in culture.
