In this study we describe the partial purification and characterization of the HeLa cell oligopeptidase M or endopeptidase 3.4.24.16. The HeLa enzyme was isolated initially by its ability to hydrolyse a nonapeptide substrate (P9) which was cognate to the N-terminal cleavage site of preproTGFa. The e

Previous cytogenetic studies have shown that marker chromosomes thought to be unique to the human carcinoma cell line HeLa exist in some human breast tumors, but these studies have not found such markers in human cervical carcinoma lines. The present investigation presents cytogenetic data on 10 breast carcinoma and adenocarcinoma samples taken from fresh solid tumors, pleural effusions, and ~ _ _ ~

The c-erbB-2 proto-oncogene is amplified in a high percentage of primary human breast tumors, suggesting that the overexpression of this gene may be involved in the development of human breast cancer. We have investigated five human breast tumor cell lines and have detected amplified c-erbB-2 gene c
## Methods Mitoxantrone was purchased from Lederle (France) and doxorubicin from Dakota (France). Stock solutions stored at Ϫ20°C (9 ϫ 10 Ϫ4 M for doxorubicin and 4 ϫ 10 Ϫ3 M for mitoxantrone) and dilutions of doxorubicin and mitoxantrone were freshly prepared in physiological saline solution, NaC
## Abstract We have previously described the development and testing of a monoclonal anti‐human CD54 antibody (UV3) in SCID mice xenografted with human multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and melanoma cell lines. In all 3 cases, UV3 was highly effective at slowing the growth of tumors and/or prolonging sur
