Description

The differentiation of pigment cells from the neural crest of Xenopus laevis appears to depend on DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. Differentiation is inhibited by application of actinomycin D to the cells

Abstract (Afrikaans)

Die differensiasie van pigment selle uit die neurale rif van Xenopus laevis is blykbaar afhanklik van die sintese van DNA-afhanklike RNA. Differensiasie word geinhibeer deur die toediening van aktino-miosien D aan die selle
