title: Induction of ornithine decarboxylase in synchronized BHK cells by calf serum after a short period of serum-starvation.
abstract: Addition of calf serum to serum-starved cultures of synchronized BHK cells induced temporary production of ornithine decarboxylase, irrespective of the phase of the cell cycle of the BHK cells. The induction depended on the duration of serum starvation and on the amount of serum added. In addition, incorporation of 3H-thymidine into the acid-insoluble fraction of BHK cells in the S phase was stimulated by this treatment.
