Side effects ofRicinus lectin (RCA 120) on nucleic acid synthesis in chick embryo fibroblasts

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

When fibroblasts from chick embryos were treated withRicinus lectin, the effects observed depended on the stage of development of the embryo from which the cells were prepared. Thus, in 16-day fibroblasts, which have a weak proliferative capacity, nucleic acid synthesis was less sensitive to the effect of this lectin than that in 8-day fibroblasts, whose proliferative capacity is high.
