| Research Abstract |
In order to identify intracellular factors involved in differentiation of mouse Friend cells, the differentiation process was first analyzed by cell fusion experiments. The experiments suggested that the process is a synergistic results of two basically different inducible intracellular reactions. One reaction is induced following damage to DNA and the other reaction is induced by typical erythroid inducing agents such as DMSO or HMBA. We searched for the putative transacting differentiation inducing factors and detected two proteinaceous factors (DIF-i and DIF-II) corresponding to these reactions. The partially purified factors triggered erythroid differentiation when introduced into undifferentiated cells, provided that the reciprent cells had been potentiated by the induction of either one of the two reactions. Mechanism of differentiation fo embryonal carcinoma cells was also studied.
