Abstract
The distribution of Concanavalin A receptors in cultures of normal rat liver cells and of Zajdela ascites hepatoma cells of the rat was investigated by the Con Aβpo technique (Bernhard and Avrameas, 1971). Con Aβpo labelling of the cell surface showed a patchy distribution of Concanavalin A receptors in ascites hepatoma cells, whereas continuous Con Aβpo labelling was seen at the surface of normal rat liver cells. The different distribution of Concanavalin A receptors was caused by rapid internalization of Con Aβpo labelled material and not by a simple rearrangement of the receptors. The significance of this process is discussed with respect to Concanavalin A receptor mobility and membrane stability after cell transformation.
