Phenotypic changes in epithelial-cell population undergoing neoplastic transformation in vitro

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5175188
Changes were examined in DNA content and cell surface antigen expression (two unrelated cell markers) as carcinogen altered rat tracheal cells acquire the neoplastic phenotype in vitro. The coordinate change of DNA content and antigen expression as cultures change from preneoplastic to neoplastic with no detectable intermediate phenotypes indicate that neoplastic potential is acquired in a single (or a few rapid sequential) changes in this in vitro model of progression.
