Benzyl alcohol alters the hemoglobin phenotype of mouse erythroleukemia cells.

Abstract excerpt

The hemoglobin minor/hemoglobin major ratio expressed in mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells grown in vitro varies according to the differentiation inducer utilized. For example, butyrate and hemin induce higher hemoglobin minor/hemoglobin major ratios than do dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA). Benzyl alcohol in non-toxic concentrations was found to markedly reduce the hemoglobin...
