Connexins are considered to be involved in cell growth control, on the basis of studies mainly with tumorigenic cells. To study the role of connexin genes in normal cell growth control, we established fibroblast cell lines from connexin 43 (Cx43)-deficient mice and characterized their growth. Embryo

## Abstract In 3T3 Swiss mouse fibroblasts, incorporation of phosphate into cells and phosphorylation of small organic compounds were increased by shaking dense cultures. This response was not obtained with SV40 transformed Swiss 3T3 cells (SV‐3T3). It appeared likely that these results could be a
## Abstract Benzo[a]pyrene‐transformed Balb 3T3 cells (BP3T3) exhibit “normal” growth controls at low concentrations of serum. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates DNA synthesis and cell division in both Balb 3T3 and BP3T3 cells at physiological concentrations. The growth response of BP3T3 cell
## Abstract 3T3 mouse fibroblasts in 10% calf serum cease to increase in number at confluence. SV40‐transformed 3T3 cells lose their sensitivity to this growth control and so are able to reach multilayered cell densities. We previously described a polyploid revertant line F1SV101, isolated from a S
The aim of this study was to examine whether a spontaneous immune response controls neoplastic growth in P815bearing DBN2 mice, and to characterize the cells involved in tumor resistance in vivo. Several cell lineages such as Tcell-receptor (TcRbbearing T cells, NK cells and macrophages mediate some
## Abstract Platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) and platelet‐poor plasma, which lacks PDGF, both induce a rapid increase in the rate of total protein synthesis within quiescent, density‐arrested Balb/c‐3T3 cells. This stimulation of protein synthesis is associated with an increased aggregation of
