Expression of SV40 T antigen during the cell cycle of sv40-transformed cells. 1975

S Stenman, and J Zeuthen, and N R Ringertz

The expression of the nuclear SV40-induced T antigen was measured by microfluorimetry on individual, asynchronously growing SV40-transformed cells which had been stained with hamster T-antiserum by the indirect immunofluorescence method. The same individual cells were first measured for T antigen and then for DNA by Feulgen microspectrophotometry. A linear correlation was observed between the two parameters. T antigen expression was also measured in cell populations arrested at different phases of the cell cycle. Results of both types of experiments show that the expression of the gene (s) for T antigen in transformed cells increases during DNA replication and reaches its highest level in G2 nuclei. During mitosis T antigen is found in the cytoplasm.

D003561 Cytarabine A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
