Abstract
Beige-nude mice with combined T and NK cell deficiency were produced by introducing "nu" gene into the beige mice of C57BL/6 background. The beige-nude mice were characterized by morphological features, level and activity of the NK cell in spleen and peripheral blood. NK cell level of the beige-nude mice was higher than the beige mice and similar to the ordinary nude mice though its NK cell activity was markedly lower than the nude mice. Human lung adenocarcinoma (PAa) was transplanted subcutaneously to the beige-nude mice and nude mice of BALB/cA background. No metastasis was found in BALB/cA nude mice (0/7), while in beige-nude mice, spontaneous lymph node metastasis rate was 36.3% (4/11). It should be noted that the transplanted PAa metastasized to lungs, which had never been seen in BALB/cA nude mice in previous experiments. The increase of metastatic rate is correlated with the relative low NK cell activity of the beige-nude mice. Our observation is that the beige-nude mice could be a suitable experimental model for in vivo study on metastatic behavior of the human tumors.

Abstract
A polypeptide growth inhibitor, designated as mammary derived growth inhibitor, has previously been purified from lactating bovine mammary glands. Polyclonal rabbit antiserum raised against mammary derived growth inhibitor cross-reacts with bovine heart fatty acid binding protein and bovine peripheral myelin P2 protein. These results are consistent with the observation that the amino acid sequence of mammary derived growth inhibitor showed homology to the sequences of these proteins. In a parallel series of immunoblotting experiments, rabbit anti-mammary derived growth inhibitor also reacted specifically with a fibroblast growth inhibitor purified from the conditioned medium of cultured mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. These data suggest that bovine mammary derived growth inhibitor and mouse fibroblast growth inhibitor may share common structural features and raise the possibility that these growth inhibitors may together define a new family of growth regulatory molecules.

Abstract
In this paper, the effect of V.C on thermal sensitivity of the tumor and normal tissues was studied. Average peak reaction and RD50 (50% reaction dosage) were used to evaluate the effect of V.C on thermal sensitivity of the normal tissue. Tumor cure rate and TCD50 (50% tumor cure dosage) were used to evaluate the effect of V.C on that of the tumor tissue. In all mice injected by V.C locally, the average peak reaction markedly increased, RD50 decreased by 1-2 fold; the tumor cure rate was obviously elevated, TCD50 was significantly reduced except those treated by 20' hyperthermia. TGF (therapeutic gain factor) was 1.76. These results indicate that V.C can increase the thermal sensitivity of tumor and normal tissues but the effect on tumor tissue is selective.

Abstract
The metabolism of cell-associated proteoglycans, labeled in the glycosaminoglycan portion with 35SO2-4, was studied in normal skin fibroblasts (SL66 cells), NH4Cl-treated SL66 fibroblasts, and in I-cells derived from patients with mucolipidosis II. Kinetic data from label-chase experiments and gel filtration analysis of the molecular weight distribution of the radiolabeled glycosaminoglycans indicated that I-cells and NH4Cl-treated normal fibroblasts (a) internalize cell surface proteoglycans, (b) remove glycosaminoglycan chains from proteoglycan core proteins, and (c) degrade heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains via an endoglycosidic activity. These processes occur with rates comparable to those in normal fibroblasts. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that the glycosaminoglycan chains of cell-surface proteoglycans are separated from the protein cores in a nonlysosomal compartment prior to the transport of these chains to lysosomes for degradation. These observations also raise the possibility that this early step in separation of glycosaminoglycan chains from protein cores may serve to regulate the levels of glycosaminoglycan-free core protein observed in various cells.

Abstract
Proliferating 3T3 mouse fibroblasts contain higher levels of the lectin carbohydrate-binding protein 35 (CBP35) than do quiescent cultures of the same cells. An immunofluorescence study was carried out with a rabbit antiserum directed against CBP35 to map the cellular fluorescence distribution in a large population of cells under different growth conditions. This cytometric analysis showed that the lectin is predominantly localized in the nucleus of the proliferating cells. In quiescent 3T3 cultures, the majority of the cells lost their nuclear staining and underwent a general decrease in the overall fluorescence intensity. Stimulation of serum-starved quiescent 3T3 cells by the addition of serum resulted in an increase in the level of CBP35. The percentage of cells showing distinct punctate intranuclear staining reached a maximum at about the same time as the onset of the first S-phase of the cell cycle. All of these results suggest that CBP35 may be a protein whose presence in the nucleus, in discrete punctate distribution, is coordinated with the proliferation state of the cell.

Abstract
A lectin has been identified in the cell line, SB-1, originally derived from the roots of Glycine max. This lectin, which we shall refer to as SB-1 lectin, was isolated on the basis of its carbohydrate-binding activity (affinity chromatography on Sepharose column derivatized with N-caproyl-galactosamine) and its immunological cross-reactivity (immunoblotting with rabbit antibodies directed against seed soybean agglutinin (SBA]. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and immunoblotting analysis of SB-1 lectin revealed a major polypeptide (Mr approximately equal to 30,000) which co-migrated with seed SBA. This form of the lectin was observed in fractions purified from culture medium of SB-1 cells or supernatant fraction of SB-1 cell suspension after enzymatic removal of cell wall. Extracts of SB-1 cells under some other conditions yielded a major band (Mr approximately equal to 60,000) as revealed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting with rabbit anti-seed SBA; prolonged incubation of these samples in the presence of SDS resulted in the appearance of the 30-kDa polypeptide. It appears that the 60-kDa band represented a highly stable, even under SDS-PAGE conditions, dimeric form of the 30-kDa subunit. The SB-1 lectin derived from the culture medium was compared with seed SBA by gel filtration and by peptide mapping after limited proteolysis; no difference between the lectins from the two sources was found. Extracts of soybean roots fractionated on N-caproyl-galactosamine-Sepharose affinity columns yielded, upon elution with galactose, polypeptides of Mr 30,000 and 60,000. These results suggest that soybean roots contain a lectin whose polypeptide composition corresponds to that of seed SBA and SB-1 lectin.

Abstract
The effects of acute exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on porphyrin synthesis and cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenases in the small intestine and liver were studied in male Japanese quail. The birds were dosed orally with the PCB mixture, Aroclor 1242, or the individual PCB isomers, 2,4,2',4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (2-TCB) and 3,4,3',4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (3-TCB), and were killed 48 h later. All the PCB compounds caused a significant increase in porphyrin content and delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase (ALA-S) activity in the small intestine and liver. Increases in porphyrins were greater in the small intestine than in liver. However, a smaller increase in ALA-S activity occurred in the small intestine than in liver, suggesting that ALA-S induction is not a major mechanism for the increased porphyrin content of small intestine. All the test compounds significantly increased the cytochrome P-450 content of liver. In the small intestine, cytochrome P-450 content was increased by Aroclor 1242 and 2-TCB but not by 3-TCB. The activity of 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase, however, was increased by all test compounds in both liver and small intestine. In contrast, there was a striking difference between small intestine and liver in the induction of 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD) activity by Aroclor 1242. In the liver, ECOD activity was unchanged or decreased, but in the small intestine, ECOD activity increased linearly with dose. No tissue difference in ECOD activity was observed after treatment with 2-TCB or 3-TCB. These findings suggest that acute exposure to a given PCB results in marked differences between small intestine and liver in porphyrin metabolism and in the induction of cytochrome P-450 isozymes and associated monooxygenases.

Abstract
Affinity-purified antibodies directed against carbohydrate-binding protein 35 (CBP35), a galactose-specific lectin, were used to screen a lambda gt 11 expression library derived from mRNA of 3T3 fibroblasts. This screening yielded several putative clones containing cDNA for CBP35, one of which was characterized in terms of its expression of a fusion protein containing beta-galactosidase and CBP35 sequences. Limited proteolysis of lysates containing the fusion protein, followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting with anti-CBP35, yielded a peptide mapping pattern comparable to that obtained from parallel treatment of authentic CBP35. Such a limited proteolysis followed by affinity chromatography on a Sepharose column coupled with galactose also yielded a 30-kDa polypeptide that exhibited carbohydrate-binding activity. This polypeptide can be immunoblotted with anti-CBP35, but not with antibodies directed against beta-galactosidase. These results indicate that we have identified a cDNA clone for CBP35 that yields a recombinant polypeptide with lectin activity produced in Escherichia coli. Using this cDNA clone as a probe, Northern-blot analysis showed an increased expression of the CBP35 gene when quiescent 3T3 cells were activated by the addition of serum growth factors.

Abstract
Incubation of Rhizobium japonicum with the cultured soybean cell line SB-1, originally derived from the roots of Glycine max, resulted in specific adhesion of the bacteria to the plant cells. This binding interaction appears to be mediated via carbohydrate recognition, since galactose can inhibit the heterotypic adhesion but glucose cannot. Affinity chromatography, on a Sepharose column derivatized with N-caproyl-galactosamine, of the supernatant fraction of a SB-1 cell suspension after enzymatic removal of cell wall yielded a single polypeptide (Mr approximately 30,000) on immunoblotting analysis with rabbit antibodies directed against seed soybean agglutinin. Fluorescently labeled rabbit anti-seed soybean agglutinin also yielded specific immunofluorescent staining on the cell wall and plasma membrane of the SB-1 cells. These results suggest that one likely candidate that may mediate the recognition between the Rhizobium and the soybean cells is the endogenously produced SB-1 lectin. This notion is supported by the observation that rabbit anti-seed soybean agglutinin blocked the Rhizobium-soybean cell adhesion, whereas control antibodies did not.

Abstract
Splenocytes, derived from mice that had been immunized with protoplasts prepared from suspension cultures of root cells of Glycine max (L.) Merr. (SB-1 cell line), were fused with a murine myeloma cell line. The resulting hybridoma cultures were screened for the production of antibodies directed against the soybean protoplasts and were then cloned. One monoclonal antibody, designated MVS-1, was found to bind to the outer surface of the plasma membrane on the basis of several criteria: (a) agglutination of the protoplasts; (b) binding of fluorescence-labeled immunoglobulin on protoplasts yielding a ring staining pattern with prominent intensity at the edges; and (c) saturable binding by protoplasts of (125)I-labeled Antibody MVS-1. The antigenic target of Antibody MVS-1, identified by immunoblotting techniques, contained a polypeptide of relative molecular mass (Mr) approx. 400000 under both reducing and non-reducing conditions. When the antigenic target of Antibody MVS-1 was chromatographed in potassium phosphate buffer, the position of elution corresponded to that of a high-molecular-weight species (Mr 400000). These results provide the protein characterization required for the analysis of the mobility of Antibody MVS-1 bound to the plasma membrane of SB-1 cells.

Abstract
Human fibroblasts (SL66) were cultured in medium containing 35SO2-4 to label the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The cells were then detached from the culture dish to leave radioactively-labeled components of the extracellular matrix, hereafter termed 35S-labeled substrate-attached material. When unlabeled SL66 fibroblasts were plated onto this 35S-labeled substrate-attached material, the cells mediated two distinct events: (a) release of radioactivity from the substrate-attached material into the medium; (b) degradation of certain glycosaminoglycans into radioactive components of very low molecular weight including free radioactive sulfate. In the presence of mannose 6-phosphate, however, the degradation of the substrate-attached material by SL66 cells was partially inhibited. Analyses of this effect in terms of the dose-response curve, saccharide specificity, ammonium chloride sensitivity, and the requirement for cells suggest that both an intracellular compartment and the mannose 6-phosphate receptor that binds lysosomal enzymes at the cell surface may play important roles in the turnover and degradation of certain proteoglycans in substrate-attached material.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody (MVS-1) was used to monitor the lateral mobility of a defined component (Mr approximately 400,000) of the plasma membrane of soybean protoplasts prepared from suspension cultures of Glycine max (SB-1 cell line). The diffusion coefficient (D) of antibody MVS-1 bound to its target was determined (D = 3.2 X 10(-10) cm2/s) by fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching. Pretreatment of the protoplasts with soybean agglutinin (SBA) resulted in a 10-fold reduction of the lateral mobility of antibody MVS-1 (D = 4.1 X 10(-11) cm2/s). This lectin-induced modulation could be partially reversed by prior treatment of the protoplasts with either colchicine or cytochalasin B. When used together, these drugs completely reversed the modulation effect induced by SBA. These results have refined our previous analysis of the effect of SBA on receptor mobility to the level of a defined receptor and suggest that the binding of SBA to the plasma membrane results in alterations in the plasma membrane such that the lateral diffusion of other receptors is restricted. These effects are most likely mediated by the cytoskeletal components of the plant cell.

Abstract
In previous studies, a lectin designated as carbohydrate-binding protein 35 (CBP35) has been isolated from cultured 3T3 fibroblasts. In the present study, rabbit antibodies directed against CBP35 were used to analyze the subcellular distribution of CBP35 in 3T3 cells. Several lines of evidence indicate that CBP35 is found externally exposed at the cell surface: immunofluorescent staining of live 3T3 cells; agglutination of suspension of 3T3 fibroblasts by specific antibodies; and isolation, by immunoaffinity chromatography, of a Mr 35,000 component from cells surface-labeled with 125I. In addition to the plasma membrane, CBP35 could also be found intracellularly, as revealed by immunofluorescence studies of fixed and permeabilized 3T3 cells. The staining pattern showed the presence of CBP35 on the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. These results are consistent with the finding that among several subcellular fractions, CBP35 can be found by immunoblotting procedures in the nuclear pellet, the soluble fraction, and the plasma membrane fraction of the postnuclear supernatant.

Abstract
A growth regulatory factor, which reversibly inhibits DNA synthesis and proliferation of fibroblasts, has been isolated from medium conditioned by exposure to density-inhibited mouse 3T3 cells. This factor, termed FGR-s (13K), yielded a single polypeptide (Mr 13,000) when analyzed by SDS PAGE under both reducing and nonreducing conditions. The dose-response curve of growth inhibition by FGR-s (13K) showed that 50% inhibition of 3T3 cell proliferation was achieved at a concentration of approximately 3 ng/ml, corresponding to approximately 0.23 nM. The activity of FGR-s (13K) was depleted by passing the material over an affinity column containing the monoclonal antibody 2A4; this monoclonal antibody had been previously characterized to bind to the Mr 13,000 polypeptide. These results indicate that we have purified a growth regulatory factor that acts to inhibit the proliferation of cells in an autocrine pathway.

Abstract
Administration of monochlorobenzene (MCB), p-dichlorobenzene (DCB), or 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) at single doses of 800 mg/kg produced an increase in the total porphyrin content of liver of day-old chicks. Porphyrinogenic activity was higher in DCB- and TCB-treated chicks than in MCB-treated chicks. Administration of any of these compounds to chick embryos (40 mg/egg) failed to produce an induction of liver porphyrins. TCB enhanced the excretion of porphyrin in bile of chicks but not of chick embryos. In day-old chicks TCB increased hepatic cytochrome P-450 levels and the activity of 7-ethoxyresorufin deethylase. However, 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylase activity was decreased while cytosolic glutathione S-transferase activity was unchanged. These results point out the differential response of chick embryos and day-old chicks to chlorobenzene-induced changes in porphyrin metabolism as well as the differential induction of microsomal monooxygenases in chicks by TCB.

Abstract
In previous studies, a lectin designated as carbohydrate-binding protein 35 (CBP35) has been isolated from cultured mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. In this study, antibodies directed against CBP35 were used to screen for cross-reactive proteins in various cultured cells and in various organs and tissues of mice. Cross-reactive proteins of the same molecular weight (Mr, 35,000) were found in human, mouse, and chicken fibroblasts and in a macrophage-like cell line, P388D1. Similarly, cross-reactive proteins were also found in the embryonic liver, lung, spleen, thymus, skin, and muscle tissue and in the lung, artery, thymus, and spleen of the adult mouse. Fractionation of extracts of mouse lung on affinity columns of asialofetuin-Sepharose yielded a protein whose molecular weight, carbohydrate-binding specificity, and immunological properties suggest that it is CBP35 derived from the lung, hereafter designated CBP35 (lung). The binding of 125I-labeled CBP35 (lung) to rabbit erythrocytes was quantitated in the presence and absence of various carbohydrates. It was found that only carbohydrates containing galactose were inhibitors of the binding; the disaccharide lactose was 100-fold more potent as an inhibitor than was the monosaccharide galactose. When extracts of the adult mouse liver were fractionated by asialofetuin-Sepharose chromatography, only a protein corresponding to CBP16 was isolated; no CBP35 was found. These results corroborate the immunoblotting data, which indicated that CBP35 was not detectable in the adult mouse liver.

Abstract
A fibroblast growth regulator, which inhibits the growth and division of proliferating fibroblasts, has been isolated from medium conditioned by exposure to density-inhibited mouse 3T3 cells. This partially purified preparation of the growth-inhibitory activity, termed FGR-s, contained two major polypeptides (Mrs, 10,000 and 13,000). Using FGR-s as the immunogen, we have carried out in vitro immunization of rat splenocytes and have generated hybridoma lines, each secreting an antibody directed against components of the FGR-s preparation. One such monoclonal antibody, designated 2A4, specifically bound the Mr 13,000 polypeptide of FGR-s. Antibody 2A4 also neutralized the growth-inhibitory effect of FGR-s in a concentration-dependent fashion. These results strongly suggest that the Mr 13,000 polypeptide carries growth-inhibitory activity.

Abstract
Extracts of cultured 3T3 fibroblasts, obtained by homogenization and Triton X-100 solubilization, were fractionated on Sepharose columns covalently derivatized with asialofetuin. Three distinct carbohydrate-binding proteins (CBPs) were purified from the material bound to the affinity column: CBP35 (Mr = 35,000), CBP16 (Mr = 16,000), and CBP13.5 (Mr = 13,500). These CBPs were similar in several key properties. (a) They showed agglutination activity when assayed with rabbit erythrocytes; (b) they all appear to specifically recognize galactose-containing glycoconjugates; (c) they have low isoelectric points, pI 4.5-4.7; (d) their binding activities are rapidly lost in the absence of beta-mercaptoethanol; (e) the CBPs do not interact with each other, and the fractionated proteins can bind to asialofetuin independent of associated polypeptides; and (f) none of the proteins tend to self-associate to form oligomers of identical subunits. Comparisons of these and other properties of the CBPs suggest that CBP16 and CBP13.5 may be the murine counterparts of lactose-specific lectins previously identified in electric eel and in several bovine and avian tissues. In contrast, it appears that CBP35 represents a newly identified protein capable of binding to galactose-containing carbohydrates.

Abstract
The effects of single oral administration of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB), 200, 400, 800 or 1600 mg/kg, and of daily oral administration of TCB, 400 mg/kg, for 3 consecutive days, on components of the microsomal monooxygenase system, glutathione, and the activities of cytosolic glutathione S-transferase and microsomal epoxide hydrolase in Japanese quail liver were studied. Cytochromes P-450 and b5 contents of liver microsomes and the activities of 7-ethoxyresorufin deethylase (7-ERD) and glutathione S-transferase were significantly increased 1 day after administration of single doses of TCB. Liver GSH and 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylase (7-ECD) activity were unchanged. Microsomal epoxide hydrolase activity was significantly decreased at TCB doses above 400 mg/kg. Increases in cytochromes and activities of 7-ERD and glutathione S-transferase were also seen following the 3-day administration of TCB, 400 mg/kg. In addition, liver GSH and the activity of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase were significantly increased whereas 7-ECD was significantly decreased by the 3-day treatment. These findings indicate that in Japanese quail, TCB is an inducer of 7-ERD and glutathione S-transferase but not of 7-ECD and epoxide hydrolase.

Abstract
The porphyrinogenic action of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) was examined in 17-day-old embryos, day-old chicks, 18-day-old chickens and adult Japanese quail. The quail was found to be the most sensitive species towards TCB induced porphyria whereas the chick embryo was totally non-responsive. The liver porphyrins of Japanese quail were increased in a dose-dependent manner 1 day after TCB. Elevation in porphyrin levels in quail was associated with comparable increases in delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase (ALA-S) activity 1 day after TCB treatment. In contrast, ferrochelatase activity was found to be unchanged 1 day after TCB. Multiple administration of TCB produced only a slight increase in liver porphyrin levels and ALA-S activity in quail. However, there was a marked induction in ferrochelatase activity suggesting increased porphyrin turnover. Liver glutathione and glutathione S-transferase activity were also significantly increased following repeated administration of TCB in quail, which could indicate an enhancement of detoxication of reactive metabolites of TCB. Thus, it is suggested that the inability of low multiple doses of TCB to cause porphyria in Japanese quail may be related to the low responsiveness of ALA-S but high inducibility of ferrochelatase liver GSH and glutathione S-transferase.

Abstract
Protoplasts prepared from suspension cultures of root cells of Glycine max (SB-1 cell line) bound soybean agglutinin (SBA), concanavalin A (Con A), and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). Binding studies carried out with 125I-labeled SBA, Con A, and WGA showed that these interactions were saturable and specific. Fluorescence microscopy demonstrated uniform membrane labeling. The mobility of the lectin-receptor complexes was measured by fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching. The diffusion constants (D) for SBA and Con A were 5 X 10(-11) and 7 X 10(-11) cm2/s, respectively. In contrast, WGA yielded a diffusion constant of 3 X 10(-10) cm2/s. Pretreatment of the protoplasts with either SBA or Con A resulted in a 6-fold reduction in the mobility of WGA (D congruent to 5 X 10(-11) cm2/s). The results suggest that the binding of SBA or Con A may lead to alterations of the soybean plasma membrane which, in turn, may restrict the mobility of other receptors.

Abstract
Three carbohydrate-binding proteins (Mr 35 000, 16 000 and 13 500) were isolated from extracts of mouse 3T3 fibroblasts by affinity chromatography on polyacrylamide beads to which was covalently bound the ligand 6-aminohexyl 4-beta-D-galactosyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside. None of these proteins bind to polyacrylamide beads coupled with either 6-aminohexanol or 6-aminohexyl beta-D-galactopyranoside. Therefore they appear to be carbohydrate-binding proteins specific for galactose-terminated glycoconjugates. A carbohydrate-binding protein was also purified from extracts of human foreskin fibroblasts. This protein (Mr 35000) may represent the human counterpart of the mouse protein of similar Mr and binding properties.

Abstract
Human fibroblasts (SL66) were cultured in medium containing 35SO4(2-) to label the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). After washing, the labeled cells were chased in the presence or absence of mannose6-phosphate (M6P) and the GAGs were analyzed in terms of three arbitrary fractions: 1, Extracellular (soluble medium), 35S radioactivity higher in cultures without M6P than in cultures with M6P. 2, Pericellular (cell surface-associated), 35S radioactivity lower in cultures without M6P than in cultures with M6P. 3, Intracellular (residue within the intact cell), no difference in 35S radioactivity between the two sets of cultures. In addition, when the 35S-labeled GAGs from corresponding cellular compartments derived from cultures with and without M6P were digested with pronase and chondroitin ABC lyase, and then compared by chromatography on Sepharose CL-6B, distinct molecular differences in both the extracellular and pericellular fractions were observed. Several lines of evidence indicate that the effect of M6P on the turnover of 35S-labeled GAGs in our assay system reflects disruption of cell surface lysosomal enzyme activity. For example, when the experiment was performed with I cells, which lack enzymes carrying the M6P marker, no difference was seen in cultures with or without M6P. The addition of lysosomal enzymes derived from normal human fibroblasts to 35SO4-labeled I cells, however, resulted in the turnover of pericellular GAGs and this effect was inhibited by M6P. These results suggest that one possible function of cell surface receptors recognizing the M6P moiety of lysosomal enzymes is to anchor certain of these enzymes proximate to their substrates at the cell surface.

Abstract
Treatment of sparse, proliferating cultures of 3T3 cells with medium conditioned by exposure to density-inhibited 3T3 cultures resulted in an inhibition of growth and division in the target cells when compared to similar treatment with unconditioned medium. This growth inhibitory activity was fractionated by ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration, yielding one fraction that was 35-fold enriched in specific activity. Analysis of the chemical and biological properties of this highly active fraction indicated that: (a) it is an endogenous cell product, synthesized by the 3T3 cells and shed into the medium; (b) it is a protein and its activity is sensitive to treatment with pronase; (c) the constituent polypeptide chains have molecular weights of 10,000 and 13,000; and (d) it is not cytotoxic and its effect on target cells are reversible. These results suggest that we have partially purified from conditioned medium an endogenous growth regulatory factor that may play a role in density-dependent inhibition of growth in cultured fibroblasts. We propose the term Fibroblast Growth Regulator to describe this class of molecules.

Abstract
Chlorinated bisphenol antibacterial and antifungal agents are potent inhibitors of torula yeast glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). Several compounds were tested, including hexachlorophene [HCP; 2,2'-methylenebis(3,4,6-trichlorophenol)]; 2,2'-oxybis(tetrachlorophenol); 2',4-dihydroxy-2,3,3',5,5',6-hexachlorodiphenylmethane; 2,2'-methylenebis(3,4-dichlorophenol) (3,4-TCP); bithionol [2,2'-thiobis(4,6-dichlorophenol)]; 2,2'-methylenebis(3,5-dichlorophenol); 2,2'-dihydroxy-3,3',5,6,6'-pentachlorodiphenylmethane; 2,2'-methylenebis(4-chlorophenol) (DCP); 2,2'-methylenebis(4,6-dichlorophenol); and the related uncoupler 2,4-dinitrophenol. The relative inhibitory activity of the chlorinated bisphenols tended to increase with degree of chlorination of the aromatic rings. the concentrations of the bisphenols that caused 50% inhibition ranged from 2.5 micrometers for 2,2'-oxybis(tetrachlorophenol) to 40 micrometers for 2,2'-methylenebis(4,6-dichlorophenol) under comparable assay conditions. More detailed kinetic analysis showed that, as with HCP, the inhibition of G6PD by 3,4-TCP and DCP followed noncompetitive kinetics. Calculations from the kinetic data gave apparent inhibition constant (Ki) values for 3,4-TCP of 267 micrometers with G6P and 308 micrometers with NADP, and for DCP of 697 micrometers with both G6P and NADP.
