Early initiation of DNA synthesis in G1 phase HeLa cells following fusion with red cell ghosts loaded with S-phase cell extracts. 1985

D B Brown, and S K Hanks, and E C Murphy, and P N Rao

A modification of polyethylene glycol-mediated cell fusion procedure has been described and standardized for red blood cell mediated microinjection of proteins into cells in suspension. Using this procedure, proteins are routinely introduced into 50% of the target cells. We have applied this microinjection procedure to introduce cytoplasmic extracts obtained from S-phase HeLa cells into HeLa cells synchronized in G1. This experiment resulted in an accelerated entry of the G1 cells into S phase as measured by the incorporation of [3H]thymidine. This technique may provide a means to identify and characterize the S-phase factors responsible for the induction of DNA synthesis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D010047 Ovalbumin An albumin obtained from the white of eggs. It is a member of the serpin superfamily. Serpin B14
D002453 Cell Cycle The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
