Abstract
Measurements were made of the amino acid content of a cellular clone (K55) derived from mouse cerebellar cultures transformed in vitro by SV-40 and that appears to be astroglial. Both the total amount of amino acids and the percentage of glycine in K55 cells were higher than in the mixed cultures from which they are derived. Glycine accumulates in the culture medium of K55 cells, but not in the medium of the parental mixed cell culture (C14), suggesting that glycine is synthesized and released by K55 cells.Keywords
