ABSTRACT:
Episomal plasmids containing a papovavirus origin of replication and a papovavirus large T antigen mutant form are shown to replicate episomally in human cells, and yield levels of gene expression proportional to their episomal copy number. Candidate oncogenes and anti-oncogenes can be identified by transfecting the episomal plasmids containing a candidate oncogene or anti-oncogene into non-tumorigenic cells and screening for a tumorigenic phenotype.
