Biochemical and morphological comparison of two tumour-cell-aggregation factors from rat ascites hepatoma cells. 1978

Y Hanaoka, and K Kudo, and Y Ishimaru, and H Hayashi

Two tumour-cell-aggregation factors, derived from rat ascites hepatoma cells, had different antigenicity; one was not absorbed by immunoadsorbent chromatography with anti-rat serum antibody and the other was. Their activities were both lost by digestion with trypsin, but remained unchanged by oxidation with periodate, suggesting the role of the protein portions in their molecules. The potency of the unabsorbed factor was inhibited specifically by alpha-methyl-D-mannoside or D-mannose, while that of the absorbed factor was inhibited specifically by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, suggesting that these carbohydrates may be concerned with the respective receptor structures at the tumour-cell surface. The unabsorbed factor induced not only cell aggregation (as shown in the form of simple apposition) but also cell adhesiveness characterized by development of intermediate junctions, desmosomes and tight junctions, while the absorbed factor produced only simple apposition, suggesting their functional difference.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
