SYNCHRONIZATION OF RAPID GLOBIN EXPRESSION IN MURINE ERYTHROLEUKEMIC CELLS

Zucker, R. SYNCHRONIZATION OF RAPID GLOBIN EXPRESSION IN MURINE ERYTHROLEUKEMIC CELLS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-85/412.

Description:

The addition of butyric acid (BA) to murine erythroleukemia cells (MELC) produces the expression of primarily A and E2 hemoglobins while DMSO incubation produces the expression of primarily A hemoglobin. Preincubation of MELC with DMSO followed by BA induction accelerates the expression of hemoglobins in a synchronous manner, yielding the preferential synthesis of alpha and y globins, and E2 hemoglobin.
