Substrate regulation of System A transport activity in rat H4 hepatoma cells is described. The uptake of several amino acids was tested in t h e presence of system-specific inhibitors. System A activity was increased in a RNA-and protein synthesis-dependent manner by amino acid deprivation of the ce

## Abstract Neutral amino acid (isoleucine, leucine, and valine) transport was monitored in synchronous populations of WILβ2 cells, a diploid human lymphoblastoid B cell line. Cells were synchronized by either the double thymidine block technique or by densityβdependent arrest in G~1~. Cells synchr
Neutral amino acid transport was characterired in human synovial cells. The amino acids tested are transported by all three major neutral amino acid transport systems, that is, A, L, and ASC. The model amino acid 2-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) was found to be a strong specific substrate for system A i
The orchiectomy specimens and the respective lymphadenectomies of 33 teratocarcinomas (teratoma and embryonal carcinoma) and 30 embryonal carcinomas were identified in a series of 457 consecutive germ cell tumors of the testis. Although teratocarcinomas were larger tumors the retroperitoneal lymphad
How cell commitment and differentiation are controlled in the early stages of embryogenesis is a problem that has long fascinated developmental biologists. Retinoic acidinduced differentiation of embryonal carcinoma cells in culture provides a model in which these questions can be explored. Recent w
Amino acid transport was characterized in stage 6 Xenopus laevis oocytes. Most amino acids were taken up by the oocytes by way of both Na+-dependent and saturable Na+-independent processes. Na+-dependent transport of 2aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) was insensitive to cisor trans-inhibition by the System
