Species‐specific differences in the toxicity of puromycin towards cultured human and Chinese hamster cells
Abstract
The toxicity of the protein synthesis inhibitor puromycin towards a number of human and Chinese hamster cell lines has been examined. In comparison to cells of human origin, Chinese hamster cells exhibited about 25-fold higher resistance towards puromycin. These differences appeared to be species related as all the cell lines from any one species showed similar sensitivity towards puromycin. The incorporation of [3H]leucine in the hamster cell …
