title: [Synthesis of alpha-fetoprotein, albumin and transferrin by long-term cultured cells of murine hepatoma].
abstract: The capacity of continuous cell of XXIIa mouse hepatoma (strain MHXXIIa) to synthesize alpha-fetoprotein, albumin and transferrin was studied by immunoautoradiography. Albumin and transferrin were detected in the polyethylene glycol concentrated growth medium of hepatoma cells on the 5th year (the 55th month) of their cultivation. alpha-fetoprotein was not found. Only transferrin was revealed in the growth medium of hepa toma cells of the 8th year (the 92d month) of cultivation. Two clonal cultures obtained on the 8th year of hepatoma cell cultivation were also characterized by the ability to synthesize transferrin. The continuous mouse hepatoma cells retained their malignancy. The agar micro-precipitation reaction showed the presence of alpha-fetofetoprotein in lyfogel concentrated serum of mice with tumors formed after inoculation of the hepatoma cells of the 5th year of cultivation. However, alpha-fetoprotein was not detected in the serum of mice with tumors induced by inoculation of the hepatoma cells of the 8th year of cultivation.
