After incubation at 37 C for 2 or more days, Basal Medium Eagle (BME) supplemented with 25% fetal calf serum (FCS) was not able to support adequate growth of EB3 and other lines of Burkitt tumor cells. The medium did, however, increase, by a factor of about 10, the number of cells synthesizing
Arginase has therapeutic potential as a cytotoxic agent in some cancers, but this is unclear for precursor B acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (pre-B ALL), the commonest form of childhood leukaemia. We compared arginase cytotoxicity with asparaginase, currently used in pre-B ALL treatment, and
Lectins, known to recognize endothelial cell adhesion molecules, have been shown to release endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) from blood vessels. We investigated the effects of different leukocyte-type cells to determine if these cells, by interacting with the endothelium, could release
Entry into the cell cycle is governed by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and CDK-inhibitors (CDKIs). The p53-regulated inhibitor of CDKs (PIC1) is a universal CDKI whose gene expression is directly induced by the p53 tumor suppressor protein. Reverse transcription and polymerase chain
