Abstract excerpt
Under normal culture conditions, the tumor cell lines MPC-11 and HL-60 exhibit high rates of proliferation and show a peculiar expression of intermediate filament proteins as they appear to synthesize only lamin B. A 48-h exposure of murine plasmacytomas MPC-11 to the phorbol ester TPA reduces their growth and induces vimentin synthesis without affecting the composition of their nuclear lamina. When applied to...
