rubidium/sarcoma

86Rb has been used as a tracer for Sarcoma 180 ascitic cells in a humoral cytotoxicity system, and compared with the trypan blue dye exclusion method. In as little as five minutes after contact with antiserum and complement, about 90 p. cent of the isotope has gone from the cells, with a significant

Rates of uptake and intracellular concentrations of monovalent cations were measured in virus-transformed and nontransformed chick embryo (CE) cells. Uptake of 22Na+ into cells transformed by the BH strain of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV-BH) (CE-BH) was about double the rate of uptake into CE cells, or

Cancer cachexia is characterized by wasting of the lean tissue and profound changes in the body composition of the tumour host. These changes are partly explained by an inefficient energy production but other factors may also be important, such as deficiency of essential nutritional components. In
