Abstract excerpt
Our aim was to determine if the isolation of cells capable of proliferating in methionine-free homocysteine-containing medium, from the human MeWo-LC1 melanoma tumor cell line which is unable to proliferate or survive under such conditions, was associated with altered growth properties. Cells which were able to proliferate in methionine-free homocysteine-containing medium (homocysteine-responsive cells) were...
