title: Induction of the ceruloplasmin mRNA in Balb/C 3T3 cells after Rous-Sarcoma virus transfection.
abstract: Ceruloplasmin is a copper containing serum glycoprotein. It is an acute-phase protein and its levels are increased in inflammation and in a number of experimental and human tumors. It is normally synthesized in the liver and not in fibroblasts. In this paper we present evidence that ceruloplasmin mRNA is synthesized in Balb/C 3T3 cells and its levels are increased about 3-fold in Rous-Sarcoma virus (RSV) transformed cells. The ceruloplasmin mRNAs from rat liver and RSV 3T3 cells have the same electrophoretic mobility.
