## Abstract Lectin‐resistant variants of B‐16 melanoma cells were selected with wheat‐germ agglutinin, ricin and concanavalin A. They exhibited altered metastasizing capacity and tumorigenicity in C57BL mice. Several in vitro properties were defined and compared including homotypic adhesiveness, mi

## Abstract From C57BL mouse melanoma B‐16 cells, variant clones were selected __in vitro__ which were resistant to the lectins wheat‐germ agglutinin and ricin. Cells were also selected which survived toxic concentrations of concanavalin A. Four different __In vivo__ assays using intradermal, intra
## Abstract Flow microfluorometry has been used to quantitate cell‐surface binding of fluorescein‐conjugated lectins. Frequency distributions of total surface binding of Concanavalin A per cell were prepared for a variety of cultured cell populations, including established cell lines, virus‐transfo
Conjugates of adriamycin coupled to transferrin byglutaraldehyde are cytotoxic to human promyelocytic (HL-60) and erythroleukemic (K562) cells. Growth inhibition of adriamycinsensitive cells, as evaluated by thymidine incorporation and the MlT-assay, was higher for conjugates than for free adriamyci
In order to evaluate the possible role of cell-surface carbohydrates in metastasis of tumour cells, 2 wheat-germ agglutinin-resistant (WGA') variants of 816 mouse melanoma and 8 back revertants selected with other lectins were analyzed with respect to the surface expression of fucosylated carbohydra
The cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of refined borax and borax ores were studied in cultured mammalian cells. In V79 Chinese hamster cells, C3H/lOTl/2 mouse embryo fibroblasts, and diploid human foreskin fibroblasts, crude borax ore, kernite ore, and refined borax were all cytotoxic. The lowest concen
