Abstract
Five clonal cell lines were established from a spontaneous BALB/c mouse osteosarcoma, and characterized. Four of these lines showed some similarities in morphology, in vitro growth properties, production of collagenous and noncollagenous extracellular matrix proteins and osteogenic differentiation. The cells formed colonies with characteristic differences in size and morphology in soft agar, and osteogenic sarcomas and metastases in syngeneic mice after transplantation. Ultrastructurally, cells in the transplant tumours showed marked osteogenic features. There were no osteoclast-like cells. The fifth cell line had somewhat different characteristics. All five lines expressed infectious endogenous murine leukemia viruses. Increased c-myc protoon-cogene expression was found in one cell line and c-fos expression at different levels in all lines. There was only very low expression of c-Ha-ras and no expression of c-Ki-ras and c-sis. DNA analysis showed the presence of newly acquired proviral genomes integrated at different sites in the cellular DNA. The results show that distinct osteogenic neoplastic subclones can be obtained from a primary mouse osteosarcoma. Although the clones exhibited an appreciable morphological, functional, and molecular diversity they retained the basic pathogenic properties of the tumour from which they were derived.

Abstract
The detection and characterization of oncogenes via RNA tumor viruses (or retroviruses) and the recognition of their location at breakpoints of chromosomal translocations which are frequently found in certain human neoplasms has promoted present understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis. Oncogenes are cellular genes which can be transduced by RNA tumorviruses and induce malignant transformation under experimental conditions in vivo and in vitro. A role of retroviruses in human leukemogenesis is suggested by epidemiological observations and by the isolation of such viruses from several human T-cell leukemias and lymphomas (human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus or HTLV) as well as by biochemical association of retroviral markers with human leukemias. A role of HTLV has been suggested also in a human immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). In view of the well known role of many factors in carcinogenesis the concept of carcinogenesis as a multistep process as well as the concept of cocarcinogenesis and the role of cofactors other than viruses, such as radiation and chemicals, aging, hormones, graft vs host reaction, environmental factors etc., will have to be carefully considered.

Abstract
DNAs obtained from bone marrow cells of 31 children with neoplasms of mesenchymal origin were tested for the presence of proviral simian sarcoma associated virus by southern blot-hybridization. The lower limit of detection in this method was one provirus per 20-30 cells. Applying stringent conditions of hybridization, no proviral DNA could be detected in any of the samples tested, most of which were from children with leukemia or with bone marrow invading lymphosarcomas. Relaxed conditions of hybridization revealed a diffuse pattern of hybridizing fragments which was similar in all DNAs tested, including normal human DNA.

Abstract
The characteristics of Cell Line LM-1, established from a human osteosarcoma, have been studied extensively. The cell produced both bone-specific and placental-like alkaline phosphatases when treated with hydrocortisone 21-phosphate; they had specific membrane antigens tht reacted with sera from osteosarcoma patients. Injection of LM-1 cells into newborn hamsters treated with antilymphocyte serum produced nodular tumors. The characteristics of LM-1 suggest that this tumor cell line has unique features that may be useful in a variety of studies of human and animal osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Virus particles with the biochemical properties of C-type retroviruses appeared transiently in bone tissues of (C3H x 101) f1 hybrid mice early after treatment with 224 Radium; such particles were then again detected in the bones of the irradiated animals at the onset of osteosarcoma formation and in the osteosarcomas. Antibodies against a murine retrovirus isolated from a 224 Ra-induced osteosarcoma were produced and detected in the serum of the 224 Ra-treated animals within a month after treatment began. The antibody levels plateaued to a maximum after about 2 months and remained elevated until the tumors started to develop. The antibody concentration in the serum of these irradiated animals decreased then progressively to reach levels similar to those observed in untreated controls. It thus appears that the imminence of osteosarcoma development can be predicted by monitoring the anti-C-type virus antibody levels in the serum of the irradiated mice. These experiments also strongly suggest that treatment with 224Radium induces expression of endogenous viruses in the animals.

Abstract
Eight cell lines were established from murine osteosarcomas induced in vivo with the radionuclides 224Ra and 227Th. They have been compared by light and electron microscopy, by karyology, and by their growth properties. The morphology, the growth pattern, and the ability to induce tumors in mice indicate that five of them are tumor cell lines. Chromosome studies demonstrated that the five cell lines have marker chromosomes. The other cell lines only showed some criteria generally used to score for transformation of fibroblasts and they may be derived from stromal cells. All cell lines release virus particles in the culture fluid which have the typical properties of RNA tumor viruses. They possess C-type morphology, a density of 1.16--1.18 g/cm3, a 60--70 S RNA, a RNA dependent DNA polymerase and they induce syncytia in rat XC cells. The possible significance of these virus particles in radiation osteosarcomagenesis is discussed.

Abstract
Simultaneous biochemical and electron microscopical investigations on surgically removed spleens yielded evidence for the presence of reverse transcriptase containing (Retra) virus in two patients with hematological malignancies with spleen involvement. In three other patients with hematological diseases and in one control patient, the spleens were negative in both assays. The results of these combined studies support the view, that retraviruses are present in human malignancies.

Abstract
A new cultured cell line (HuOS) was established from tumor cells obtained from the pulmonary metastatic foci of a patient diagnosed as chondroblastic osteosarcoma. The tumor cell line was maintained for over 19 months, and morphological and biological characteristics were studied. These cells retained their malignant properties and produced nodules when transferred intramuscularly to nude mice. Morphologically, these nodules revealed a chondromatous pattern.

Abstract
Rabbit corneal cells transformed by a putative human type-C helper virus pseudotype of the mouse sarcoma virus produce large amounts of transforming and non-transforming viruses. The virions are antigenically related to the woolly monkey (simian) sarcoma-leukemia type-C oncovirus. Typical sarcoma virus lesions developed in newborn rats injected with virus-producing rabbit cells. Cells producing only the putative type-C helper viruses as a result of exposure to a high dilution of transforming virus stock induce lymphosarcomas after inoculation into newborn rats.

Abstract
Morphological and growth characteristics are described of a rapidly growing cell line with epithelioid and giant-cell characteristics derived from a chondrosarcoma in a male patient 65 years of age. This cell line is of considerable interest because in these cells cross-reacting antigens with known animal oncorna-viruses are present. Biochemically, the cells contain particles with a density of 1-16 with "cores" of density 1'23 associated with a reverse-transcriptase-like enzyme and with 70S RNA. Occasionally, virus-like particles were demonstrated by electron microscope in material derived from the culture medium.

Abstract
Bone-marrow cells from two leukemic children were co-cultivated with the leukemic children A 7573. In early passages, C-type oncornaviruses were released as detected by extracellular reverse transcriptase assay. Co-cultivation of the infected canine cells with the non-producing cell lines R-970-5 (human) or K-NRK (rat) both transformed by Kirsten mouse sarcoma virus (MSV) yielded a new pseudotype of MSV that could transform rat embryo, rabbit SIRC and human kidney cells but not mouse embryo cells. The focur formation could be inhibited by an antiserum to the simian sarcoma virus but not by a serum directed against murine leukemia virus. A cell line derived from a focus of transformed cells became a highe virus is related to the simian sarcoma virus. It is concluded that the leukemic bone-marrow cells produce a C-type oncornavirus that can serve as a helper virus to the defective MSV.

Abstract
In extracts of spleen tissue from two patients with haemotological malignancies an RNA dependent DNA polymerase was found in particles with a density of 1.16, that is at the density of oncorna viruses. After treatment with noniomic detergents the enzyme activity was found in particles with a density of 1.23-1.24, similar to the density of oncorna viral cores. A simultaneous detection test with this core fraction material for 70 S RNA and RNA dependent DNA polymerase was positive for both patients. Electron microscopical inspection of the material with a density of 1.16 revealed immature C-type virus like particles, various stages of maturing particles and a number of particles resembling mature C-type oncorna viruses. In two normal spleens from patients with carcinoma of the colon and oesophagus respectively and in three spleens from patients with no history of malignancy no RNA dependent DNA polymerase was found. Material from one normal spleen was examined in the electron microscope and no virus-like particles were seen.

Abstract
We have extensively characterized cell lines derived from six human osteosarcomas. The growth properties of these cultures were compared to those of fibroblastic cultures derived from skin of osteosarcoma patients and skin of bone-marrow of normal individuals. Each tumor-derived line showed some but not all of the abnormal growth properties usually associated with malignant transformation, indicating that tumor cells rather than normal stromal cells had in fact been cultured. The parameters measured included saturation density, cell morphology, growth pattern, growth on contact inhibited monolayers of normal fibroblastic or epithelial cells and tumorigenicity in immunosuppressed mice. Although the skin fibroblasts from the osteosarcoma patients appeared normal in vitro, they showed a greater ability to grow in immunosuppressed mice than did normalfibroblasts. This observation suggests that all fibroblasts of osteosarcoma patients may have an increased propensity for malignant transformation.
