Metabolism of Aedes aegypti cells grown in vitro. I. Incorporation of 3 H-uridine and 14 C-leucine.

Autor(es): Hayashi Y; Soi S S


Resumo: Metabolic activity ofA. aegypti cells grown in vitro has been studied by incorporation of3H-uridine and14C-leucine. "Chase" experiments with unlabeled precursors, and the use of actinomycin D and puromycin, showed that3H-uridine was incorporated into cellular RNA, and that14C-leucine was incorporated into protein of these cells. Incorporation of3H-uridine was inhibited when actinomycin D was used at a concentration of 10 ?g/ml, and14C-leucine incorporation was inhibited to the same extent by puromycin at a concentration of 100 ?g/ml medium.
