## Abstract Ornithine decarboxylase activity in high density, stationary phase rat hepatoma (HTC) cells in suspension culture has an extremely short halfβlife of between 5 and 15 minutes, as measured after inhibiting protein synthesis. Following dilution of these cells into fresh medium there is a
## Abstract HTC cells incubated in the absence of serum for more than 14 hours have very low levels of ornithine decarboxylase, the first enzyme on the pathway of polyamine synthesis. Readdition of serum causes an increase in the activity of ODC, reaching a maximum on average 17 times above the bas
Arizona 85724 DH23A cells, an a-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO)-resistant variant of rat hepatoma tissue culture cells (HTC), contain high levels of very stable ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). In the absence of DFMO, the high ODC activity results in a large accumulation of endogenous putrescine. Conco
