Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanism of hepatic cell growth and differentiation is ill defined. In the present study, we examined the putative role of tyrosine phosphorylation in normal rat liver development and in an in vitro model, the alpha-fetoprotein-producing (AFP+) and AFP-nonproducing (AFP-) clones of the McA-RH 7777 rat hepatoma. We demonstrated in vivo and in vitro that the AFP+ phenotype is clearly associated with...
