The inhibition of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) maturation by 5-fluorouridine (FUrd) in Novikoff hepatoma cells appears to depend upon the incorporation of the analog into the 45 S rRNA precursor. Precursor synthesized in the presence of FUrd is not processed into mature rRNA, but precursor synthesized in the absence of the analog is processed normally afte...
Inocula of cultured sheep cells that had been transformed with FeSV were injected into the legs of sheep so that the changes in the cellular and humoral composition of the efferent lymph from the regional node could be studied throughout the immune responses. The times at which immunoblasts and specific antibodies appeared in the lymph were similar...
Nine men with advanced carcinoma of the breast were evaluated after orchiectomy at the National Institutes of Health over 19 years. Of patients followed for greater than one year, five had complete remissions, one had a partial remission, and two patients did not respond to orchiectomy. The average disease-free interval was 20 months; the average s...
Electron microscopic examination of an atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) confirmed the fibrohistiocytic nature of this lesion. Ultrastructural evidence suggested a transition from fibroblasts to large giant cells with intermediate forms exhibiting features of both. A comparison of AFX ultrastructural features to those of other similar neoplasms suggeste...
We studied the effects of retinoids on the in vitro survival of melanoma colony-forming cells in biopsies obtained from ten patients with metastatic melanoma. The results indicate that specific retinoids reduce the ability of fresh human melanoma cells to form colonies in soft agar. The retinoids studied had differential effects on the survival of ...

A line of normal rat embryo fibroblasts was transformed with N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (a chemical carcinogen), SV40 and polyoma virus (two DMA viruses), and Rous sarcoma virus (an RNA tumor virus). In this study, we report a comparison of the levels of collagen synthesis and procollagen messenger RNA (mRNA) in 13 lines selected after tr...
