TLDR
Analysis of the cell culture fluid from two new human hepatoma-derived cell lines reveals that 17 of the major human plasma proteins are synthesized and secreted by these cells.
Abstract
Analysis of the cell culture fluid from two new human hepatoma-derived cell lines reveals that 17 of the major human plasma proteins are synthesized and secreted by these cells. One of these cell lines, Hep 3B, also produces the two major polypeptides of the hepatitis B virus surface antigen. When Hep 3B in injected into athymic mice, metastatic hepatocellular carcinomas appear. These cell lines provide experimental models for investigation of plasma protein biosynthesis and the relation of the hepatitis B viru genome to tumorigenicity.

Robust hepatitis C virus infection in vitro

TL;DR: A simple yet robust HCV cell culture infection system based on the HCV JFH-1 molecular clone and Huh-7-derived cell lines that allows the production of virus that can be efficiently propagated in tissue culture is reported.

A New Mouse Liver-specific Gene, Encoding a Protein Homologous to Human Antimicrobial Peptide Hepcidin, Is Overexpressed during Iron Overload

TL;DR: The data strongly suggest that the product of the new liver-specific gene HEPC might play a specific role during iron overload and exhibit additional functions distinct from its antimicrobial activity.

Sequence and structure of a human glucose transporter

TL;DR: Structural analysis of the purified human erythrocyte glucose transporter by fast atom bombardment mapping and gas phase Edman degradation confirmed the identity of the clone and demonstrated that the HepG2 and ery Throcyte transporters are highly homologous and may be identical.

Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells to cardiomyocytes

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of induction ofcardiomyocyte differentiation in hES cells that do not undergo spontaneous cardiogenesis and provides a model for the study of human cardiomyocytes in culture and could be a step forward in the development of cardiomeocyte transplantation therapies.

Cleavage of Structural Proteins during the Assembly of the Head of Bacteriophage T4

TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products.

High resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis of proteins.

TL;DR: This technique provides a method for estimation of the number of proteins made by any biological system and can resolve proteins differing in a single charge and consequently can be used in the analysis of in vivo modifications resulting in a change in charge.

The preparation of 131i-labelled human growth hormone of high specific radioactivity

TL;DR: The loss of immunological reactivity at high specific radioactivities or at high levels of chemical substitution with STAI/sup 127/!iodine is demonstrated.

Preparation of Iodine-131 Labelled Human Growth Hormone of High Specific Activity

W M Hunter, +1 more
- 05 May 1962 - 
TL;DR: Current procedures for the immunological assay of protein hormones in human plasma require the routine preparation of hormones labelled with iodine-131 of high specific activity, and this work demonstrates the importance of knowing the carrier and removal status of iodine.
