Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which a clone of HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells designated Tf-Gel-1 expresses reduced levels of the transferrin receptor (TfR) was investigated. Tf-Gel-1 was developed by continuous exposure of HL-60 cells to human iron-saturated transferrin covalently linked to the plant toxin gelonin (Tf-Gel); this variant was five- to sixfold more resistant to Tf-Gel than parental HL-60 cells. The...
