Production of plaques in monolayer tissue cultures by single particles of an animal virus.

Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. (USA), 38, 747-752, 1952.

Following Max Delbruck's advice, Dulbecco visited the major centers of animal virus work in the US in order to discover a way to quantitatively assay animal viruses by a plaque technique, similar to the technique that had recently been developed for bacterial viruses (bacteriophages). Within less than a year Dulbecco worked out such a method for Western equine encephalitis virus, which then opened up animal virology to quantitative work. The technique was then used by Dulbecco and Vogt to study the biological properties of poliovirus. Digital facsimile from PubMedCentral at this link.

Plaque formation and isolation of pure lines with poliomyelitis viruses.

J. Exp. Med., 99, 167-182, 1954.

Dulbecco and Vogt were the first to successfully grow the poliovirus in vitro. They were also able to plaque purify it-- an essential step for subsequent vaccine production.

The integrated state of viral DNA in SV40-transformed cells.

Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. (USA), 60, 1288-1295, 1968.

Dulbecco and his group demonstrated that the infection of normal cells with certain types of viruses (oncoviruses) led to the incorporation of virus-derived genes into the host-cell genome, and that this event lead to the transformation (the acquisition of a tumor phenotype) of those cells. Order of authorship in the original publication: Sambrook, Westphal, Srinvasan, Dulbecco. Digital facsimile from PubMedCentral at this link.

From the molecular biology of oncogenic DNA viruses to cancer. Les Prix Nobel en 1975, pp. 172-80.

Stockholm: Nobel Foundation, 1975.

Dulbecco shared the Nobel Prize in 1975 with D. Baltimore and H. M. Temin for his discoveries concerning the interaction between tumor viruses and the genetic material of the cell.
