Combined virological, antigenic, electron microscopic, and molecular biologic study of the role of an oncovirus, herpes simplex type 2 virus (HSV-2), in the mechanisms of transformation of HSV-2-infected hamster cells was carried out. No expression of genetic information of the oncovirus could be detected. Cell transformation was shown to be associated with persistence and realization of HSV-2 genetic information in the transformed cells.
