Abstract excerpt
Herpes simplex virus type 2-transformed hamster embryo fibroblasts (333-8-9 cells) produce increased plasminogen activator (PA) compared with normal hamster cells. These cells produce undifferentiated fibrosarcomas at the inoculation site in newborn hamsters, and metastasize to the lungs. Using a direct PA assay, in which 125I-labeled plasminogen is cleaved, the optimum pH and osmolarity for detection of the...
