Abstract excerpt
Six independent clonal isolates from a morphologically heterogeneous human neuroblastoma cell line stably expressed several products of the human amyloid precursor protein (APP) from an introduced DNA construct; the "substrate-adherent" phenotype (fibroblast-like cells) predominated in all 6; these displayed immunoreactivity of vimentin, but little to no reactivity of neuron-specific enolase. A stably transfected...
