Abstract

A cell line resistant to ethidium bromide has been developed from baby hamster kidney cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus. The parental cells are normally non-producers but the resistant cell line appears to produce virus-like particles that are associated with the mitochondria as visualized by electron microscopy and determined biochemically.
