Monoclonal antibodies against human astrocytomas and their reactivity pattern [PDF]
The establishment of hybridomas after fusion of X63-Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from mice hyperimmunized against human astrocytomas is presented. The animals were primed with 5 × 106 chemically modified uncultured or cultured glioma cells.

CCN2/CTGF silencing blocks cell aggregation in embryonal carcinoma P19 cell
Connective tissue growth factor (CCN2/CTGF) is a matricellular-secreted protein involved in extracellular matrix remodeling. The P19 cell line is an embryonic carcinoma line widely used as a cellular model for differentiation and migration studies.

Human teratocarcinoma cell lines. A review [PDF]
A review is given of studies on human teratocarcinoma cell lines in culture. A human ovarian teratocarcinoma line (PA‐1) has been characterized in detail (Zeuthen et al. 1980) and has been shown to exhibit some properties of human teratocarcinoma stem‐cells.

Isolation and characterization of an inhibitory human monoclonal antibody specific to the urokinase-type plasminogen activator, uPA [PDF]
The serine protease urokinase (uPA, urokinase-type plasminogen activator) is over-expressed in certain tumors and is considered to be the strongest single indicator of poor prognosis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. In this article, we describe

Mammalian myosin I alpha, I beta, and I gamma: new widely expressed genes of the myosin I family. [PDF]
A polymerase chain reaction strategy was devised to identify new members of the mammalian myosin I family of actin-based motors. Using cellular RNA from mouse granular neurons and PC12 cells, we have cloned and sequenced three 1.2-kb polymerase chain ...

Partnership of PGC-1α and HNF4α in the regulation of lipoprotein metabolism [PDF]
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) is a transcriptional coactivator involved in several aspects of energy metabolism. It is induced or activated under different stimuli in a highly tissue-specific manner and subsequently

Megalin in normal tissues and carcinoma cells carries oligo/poly α2,8 deaminoneuraminic acid as a unique posttranslational modification [PDF]
In rat kidney, megalin, a member of the low density lipoprotein receptor gene family, is the sole glycoprotein which carries oligo/poly α2,8 deaminoneuraminic acid (KDN) as a posttranslational modification. We have investigated immunoprecipitated megalin
