Abstract excerpt
F9 teratocarcinoma cell lines, carrying one or two disrupted alleles of the RARbeta(2) gene, were generated by homologous recombination to study the role of RARbeta(2) in mediating the effects of retinoids on cell growth and differentiation. Retinoic acid (RA) does not induce growth arrest of the RARbeta(2)-/- cells, whereas the F9 WT and RARbeta(2)+/- heterozygote lines undergo RA-induced growth arrest. The...
