## Abstract Investigations were conducted to test the effects of α‐amanitin on RNA synthesis in preimplantation mouse embryos. Exposure of embryos in culture to 1–100 μg/ml α‐amanitin produced a dose‐ and time‐dependent suppression of total RNA synthesis as measured by incorporation of [^3^H]uridin

There is no cell proliferation in very sparcely plated chick embryo cell cultures. Substituting conditioned medium or adding of ethanol-fixed homologous cells to the cultures accelerates cell colony growth. The mechanism for the mitogenic action of fixed cells is considered to be the contact stimula
In this study we have examined the relationship between growth factor-induced proliferation and ODC/polyamine levels. TGF beta promotes cell growth and enhances [3H]-thymidine incorporation in chick embryo fibroblasts maintained in a serum-depleted medium. The action on DNA synthesis declines in the
## Abstract A new spectrofluorometric method for heme quantitation in cultured fibroblasts is described. The method includes: (1) heme extraction by methanol/sulfuric acid, (2) partial purification of heme by a microchromatographic method, and (3) treatment of the purified heme by oxalic acid follo
