Abstract excerpt
Murine NIH3T3 cells were used to study the effect of ribozymes on H-ras-mediated transformation. Parental 3T3 cells were transfected with the activated H-ras gene. H-ras-transformed cells had altered morphology and increased colony formation in soft agar in contrast to untransfected 3T3 cells. A hammerhead ribozyme (site-specific ribonuclease) designed to cleave codon 12 (GUC) of the activated H-ras RNA was...
