Cytochemical fractionation of the Lettre-Ehrlich ascites tumor.

SUMMARY A method for cytochemical fractionation of the Lettré-Ehrlich ascites tumor has been presented. The cells were exposed to dilute Ringer solution which increased the cell size and rigidity and allowed them to be homogenized in 0.44 M sucrose with the use of the Dounce all-glass "ball and cylinder" homogenizer. Nuclear, mitochondrial, and microsome + "soluble" fractions were obtained and...

Monovalent ions control proliferation of Ehrlich Lettre ascites cells.

Channels and transporters of monovalent ions are increasingly suggested as putative anticarcinogenic targets. However, the mechanisms involved in modulation of proliferation by monovalent ions are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of K+, Na+, and Cl(-) ions for the proliferation of Ehrlich Lettre ascites (ELA) cells. We measured the intracellular concentration of each ion in G(0...
