Abstract
Slow (1 mm/day) and fast (10mm/day) axoplasmic transport of labelled protein, shown by the movement of sharp peaks of radioactivity along the crayfish nerve cord, are blocked by cytochalasinβB. Labelled proteins in the slow peak maintain their sharp distribution; however, those in the fast peak disperse over a broad area after the drugβinduced blockage.

Studies are presented on the effect of cytochalasin B (CB) on the growth of five Mycoplasma species, three Acholeplasma species, and one Spiroplasma species. The three gliding mycoplasma species (M gallisepticum, M pneumoniae and M pulmonis are the only mycoplasmas inhibited by CB. These are the onl
After a shift from a nonpermissive to a permissive temperature, synchronized DNA synthesis and cell division were observed in a cold-sensitive anchorageindependent growth mutant (cs-17-25) of Chinese hamster lung cells in Methocel culture. Only 15 rnin exposure to the permissive temperature was suff
## Abstract Cytochalasin B was used as a tool to study the interβrelationships between cell movement, the reinitiated DNA synthesis and the enhanced transport of specific small molecules stimulated by serum in quiescent 3T3 cells. Cytochalasin at concentrations of less than 1 ΞΌg/ml inhibits serumβs
