Abstract
DNA samples from 5 out of 15 stomach cancers and from 5 out of 15 colon cancers showed transforming activity in NIH 3T3 cells upon transfection. A transforming gene from an NIH 3T3 transformant induced by transfection of DNA from a stomach cancer was cloned, and showed transforming activity amounting to 120 focus-forming units/micrograms. The transforming gene was identified as hst. The hst gene was also responsible for acquisition of the transforming activity in DNA samples from 2 other stomach cancers and one colon cancer.Entities:
