Abstract excerpt
HOC-7 malignant ovarian surface epithelial cells have been exposed to differentiation promoters like dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and retinoic acid (RA) and the resulting cell phenotypes were characterized immunologically. Immunocytochemistry revealed that DMSO caused elevation of membrane-associated staining for epidermal growth factor-receptor (EGF-R) and for desmoplakins I and II (DPI+II). DMSO also stimulated...
