The occurrence of focal three-dimensional proliferation was observed in human conjunctiva cells in culture after prolonged infection with herpes simplex virus at 30°C. and in KB cells infected with herpes virus at 37°C. for several months in the presence of pooled human serum. This atypical growth pattern consisted of many discrete piles of cells 15 to 20 cells thick scattered over a monolayer of cells. Three-dimensional growth appeared only in the presence of 10 to 20 per cent of selected human sera. When horse serum was substituted for human serum growth was in an ordinary monolayer. The abnormal growth pattern of this cell line (C-4 line) has remained stable through continuous culture for over 2 years and was observed consistently in each of 25 clones isolated from the parent culture. Repeated tests for the presence of persisting infectious virus and for herpes virus antigen in the cells were negative. Comparison of the C-4 cell line with control conjunctiva cells revealed no significant difference in multiplication rate or in range of viral susceptibility, but the C-4 line was found to be more sensitive to ultraviolet irradiation.

A cell line, UC1-B, which was derived from Balb/3T3 cells, maintains the same morphological characteristics of the non-transformed parental culture, and shows no evidence of spontaneous virus production. Survey by electron microscopy shows that the cell line consists of spindle-shaped cells with no unusual features and no endogenous virus particles.UC1-B cells respond to Moloney leukemia virus (MLV) infection by a change in morphology and growth pattern which is typical of cells transformed by sarcoma virus. Electron microscopy shows that the cells are now variable in shape (rounded, rhomboid, and spindle), and each cell type has some microvilli. Virtually all (90%) of the cells show virus particles developing at the cell surface and within the cytoplasm. Maturing viruses, typical of the oncogenic viruses, are found along with atypical tubular forms in the same cell.
