  • Title: Membrane associated proteins and malignancy: an experimental hypothesis.
    Author: Mély-Goubert B, Freedman MH.
    Journal: Cancer Biochem Biophys; 1980; 4(3):167-71. PubMed ID: 6777032.
    Abstract:
    Normal human lymphocytes and human tumor cell lines were labeled with an apolar fluorescent probe (1, 6-diphenyl-1, 3, 5-hexatriene), and fluoresence polarization (P) values were determined. The arguments presented in this study suggest that although P values represent an intricate average of all labeled hydrophobic regions of the cell (phospholipid bilayers, membrane proteins and enzymes, etc.), to a large extent, interactions of the probe with membrane proteins are of primary importance. The lower P values obtained with the tumor cell lines, compared with the normal lymphocytes, were interpreted as indicating alterations in either the structure or concentration of a membrane associated protein(s).
