Abstract
Human meningiomas show characteristic chromosome aberrations very similar to those reported in human cell cultures experimentally transformed by Simian virus 40 (SV 40). Three out of eight meningiomas tested showed SV 40 specific tumor antigen but no virus capsid antigen. Experiments to rescue virus were successfully performed. Electron microscopic studies of these cell cultures revealed cytoplasmic inclusions containing virus particles which corresponded in size and morphology to Papova viruses.Entities:
