Tumor promoting agent induces lymphocyte mitogenic factor. 1981

Human peripheral mononuclear cells treated with tumor promoting agent, 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA), released a soluble lymphocyte mitogenic factor (MF). The MF was found to be a protein capable of eliciting a proliferative response in normal human lymphocytes within 40-46 hours. The MF was detected in the culture supernatant fluid as early as 12 hours after TPA treatment and reached maximum at 48 hours. The biochemical characterization of MF is under active investigation.

D010704 Phorbols The parent alcohol of the tumor promoting compounds from CROTON OIL (Croton tiglium). Tigliane,Tiglianes
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).

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013755 Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate A phorbol ester found in CROTON OIL with very effective tumor promoting activity. It stimulates the synthesis of both DNA and RNA.
