Five human lymphoblastoid cell lines which have become tumorigenic, as judged by transplantability into immunosuppressed mice, have been compared with earlier, non-tumorigenic stocks of the same cultures, recovered from liquid nitrogen.

✦ Synopsis
Total cellular glycopeptides of 7 human uroepithelial cell lines that differ in the grade of transformation (TGr) were analysed by gel filtration and affinity chromatography on immobilized lectins. The 4 cell lines that are tumorigenic in nude mice and invasive in vitro (TGr Ill) possess more highly branched, tri-and tetraantennary N-acetyllactosaminic glycans, with less biantennary glycans than the 2 non-tumorigenic, noninvasive (TGr 11) cell lines examined. The only exception to this general pattern is the third cell line, which is classified as TGr II. The cellular glycopeptide distribution pattern in this cell line is similar to that of the TGr 111 cells. The possible relationship between altered glycosylation of membrane glycoproteins and the expression of a malignant phenotype is discussed.

Molecular characterization of HLA-class-I expression was investigated in human tumor cell lines at the protein and mRNA levels using locus-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and probes. Some cell lines exhibited a differential expression of HLA-A and HLA-B products and also showed differences in
Methionine dependence is a metabolic defect found t h u s far only in transformed and malignant cells. The defect is manifested as the inability of cells to grow in media in which methionine (Met) is replaced by its immediate precursor homocysteiiie (Hcy). We have termed this Met-Hcy+ media. We demo
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between mRNA and protein levels for P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp) expressed in various cell lines to validate the estimation of P‐gp activity from its mRNA levels. P‐gp expression levels in various cell monolayers, normal, P‐gp‐induce
