The chick embryo fibroblast infected by Rous sarcoma virus in vitro acquires the capacity to produce the acid mucopolysaccharides which are found in the tumors caused by this virus and which are also produced by tumor cells in vitro. The transformed cell acquires synthetic as well as morphologic, metabolic, and proliferative properties characteristic of Rous sarcoma tumor cells in vivo and in vitro and the transformed cell may be analogous to the tumor cell produced by virus infection in vivo.

Chick embryo fibroblasts infected in vitro with Rous sarcoma virus have properties similar to tumor cells when injected into virus-immune chickens. When such virus-transformed fibroblasts are injected into normal chickens, they apparently participate in the production of tumors independent of their release of virus and are thus apparently malignant in vivo.

Four temperature-sensitive (ts) Rous sarcoma virus src gene mutants with lesions in different parts of the gene represent three classes of alteration in pp60src. These classes are composed of mutants with (i) heat-labile protein kinase activities both in vitro and in vivo (tsLA27 and tsLA29), (ii) heat-labile kinases in vivo but not in vitro (tsLA33), and (iii) neither in vivo nor in vitro heat-labile kinases (tsLA32). The latter class indicates the existence of structural or functional pp60src domains that are required for transformation but do not grossly affect tyrosine kinase activity.

Attempts have been made to keep in vitro, for extended periods of time, cultures of chick embryo fibroblasts transformed by the Schmidt–Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus, subgroup D. Roller cultures of transformed chick cells kept in serum-deficient medium can be maintained without subcultivation for up to 6 months. The confluent cultures continuously release viruses and viable tumor cells into the medium. The released cells can be plated and have characteristics of growth and morphology which are relatively stable with time until the culture degenerates. Cells released at later stages of the culture produced substantially more viruses than those released earlier, suggesting that cell selection or differentiation occurs during long-term cultivation in low serum concentration. Long-term cultures of untransformed chick embryo fibroblasts can also be maintained in the same way. The release of viable cells by these confluent cultures, however, is negligible.
