Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved viral transformation/neodifferentiation assay for determining predisposition to cancer. The invention is based on the association between retroviral transformation/neodifferentiation and a predisposition to cancer. The level of lipogenic enzymes is measured in cultured human fibroblast cells after transformation/neodifferentiation with Kirsten murine sarcoma virus in the presence of glucocorticosteroids to monitor the extent of conversion of the human skin fibroblasts to fully mature adipocytes.
