Unusual sensitivity of rabbit cells to a nonbinding diphtheria toxin fragment.

G Cukor, F L Moolten
PMCID: PMC415304  PMID: 168151

Abstract

Normal and transformed rabbit kidney cells are killed by heat-dissociated diphtheria toxin fragments, whereas human (heLa), mouse (L929), and hamster (BHK and 333-8-9) cells are not affected.
