Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that prolonged interferon-beta (IFN-beta) treatment of RS485 cells (NIH3T3 cells transformed with multiple copies of an LTR-cHa-ras oncogene) resulted in the phenotypic reversion of 1%-5% of the culture, depending on the conditions used. This reversion persisted after IFN-beta was discontinued, although the revertants retained the LTR-cHa-ras and continued to express ras mRNA and p21....
