N-ACETYLHEXOSAMINE-INDUCED ALTERATION IN BIOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OF CULTURED MAMMALIAN CELLS

Abstract

Much higher population density, total cell number, and surface-attached cell number per flask than those in controls were obtained by N-acetylhexosamines added in the cultures of rat fibroblast, HeLa-S₃, and 3T3 cells. Stimulation of hyaluronic acid synthesis in these lines by the aminosugars was also suggested.
