Abstract
The tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-14-acetate (TPA) increases by severalfold the synthesis of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV), a type D retrovirus, when the virus is growing in human embryo kidney (HEK) cells. The effect is transient and paralleled by a striking morphological alteration of the cells. The optimal TPA concentration for stimulation is 5 ng. ml-1. Contrary to infected HEK cells, TPA induces at similar concentrations neither stimulation of MPMV synthesis nor altered morphology in persistently MPMV-infected cells of the continuous human tumor cell line A 204.Entities:
