Abstract excerpt
In the murine pre-B lymphoid cell line Baf3, the presence of IL-3 is required for the formation of membrane ruffles that intensely stain for actin and are responsible for the elongated cell phenotype. Withdrawal of IL-3 dissolves ruffled protrusions and converts the cell phenotype to round. Flow cytometric analysis of the cell shape showed that an inactive analog of Rac1 but not inactive RhoA or inactive cdc42...
