Abstract excerpt
The basis for specific changes in differentiation that accompany ras-oncogene-mediated transformation are not understood. When short-term cultures of fibroblast-like cells from adult rat adrenal glands were transformed with Kirsten murine sarcoma virus (KiMSV), the original stromal characteristics of the target cells (metachromatic extracellular matrix, high collagen production, collagen incorporation into...
