Comparative Study

Neurotransmitter-synthesizing enzymes in 14 human neuroblastoma cell lines

R A Ross et al. Cell Mol Neurobiol. 1981 Sep.

Abstract

Fourteen human neuroblastoma cell lines were studied for expression and regulation of neurotransmitter-synthesizing enzymes. All cell lines contained activities of adrenergic and/or cholinergic neurons and 13 expressed activities for both. None contained enzymes for serotonergic or GABAergic neurons. Enzyme activity was characteristic for a given cell line. Enzyme activity in cell lines was sensitive to growth phase, culture medium, and concentration of fetal bovine serum.
