Abstract

Cell disaggregation by trypsin solubilizes significantly less mucosubstance from the surface of polyoma-virus-transformed baby-hamster kidney cells than from the same non-transformed cell line. The mucosubstance, which consists of both acid mucopolysaccharides and mucoproteins, also differs qualitatively in the two cell lines.
