## Abstract Various biochemical properties of mitochondria isolated from primary monolayer cultures of mammary epithelial cells from mid‐pregnant or hormonally stimulated mice were examined daily for seven or eight days. When compared with mitochondria from mammary glands of mid‐pregnant animals, t

Abstract
The surface properties of two cell lines, Cl 1‐82 and Cl M‐6, from a cultured mouse mammary tumor cell line, FM3A/B, were studied with phytohemagglutinins and the immune adherence test. The transplantabilities of these cells had greatly decreased either spontaneously or after treatment with 4‐nitroquinoline 1‐oxide. The agglutinability of these non‐malignant (low‐ or non‐tumorigenic) cells with agglutinins from various plants was markedly higher than that of the original malignant (tumorigenic) cells. The agglutination was inhibited specifically by certain kinds of sugars. The localization of the receptors of the agglutinin on the cell surface was observed with fluorescent agglutinin.
Surface antigens were detected by the immune adherence test with anti‐Cl 1‐82 cells, and their content was found to be higher on non‐malignant than on malignant cells. The increased content was shown to be responsible for induction of strong immunity against malignant cells.

We report the use of three classes of variants from the long-established, malignantly transformed LM cell line to demonstrate that the apparent mobility of cell surface receptors need not be dependent on the expression of the transformed phenotype in vitro.
