Two out of seven meningiomas tested in early cell cultures by indirect immunofluorescence staining showed simian virus 40 (SV40)-related tumor (T) antigen. In one tumor 90% of the cells were positive. An additional SV40-related antigen (U) was found in 10% of cells of a third tumor. These findings indicate that the meningioma cells showing a positive reaction are transformed by a papova virus that has at least partly the same antigenic properties as SV40 virus. SV40-related viral capsid (V) antigen was absent in all the meningiomas tested. No virus infectious for African green monkey kidney (AGMK) cells could be isolated. The tumors positive for T and U antigens showed the chromosome aberration typical for human meningiomas, i.e., the loss of one chromosome, G-22. The T-antigen-positive tumors showed further hypodiploidization. Experiments to rescue virus from the T-antigen-positive tumors showed further hypodiploidization. Experiments to rescue virus from the T-antigen-positive meningioma cells were performed: fusion of cells pretreated with 8-azaguanine with cells premissive for SV40 led to a low percentage (0.01-0.05%) of V-antigen-positive nuclei in heterokaryon cultures. On the basis of these results, the possibility of a correlation between the meningioma, a relatively common intracranial tumor in man, and an SV40-related papova virus must be considered. It remains to be shown whether this virus is a causative agent for human meningiomas.
