Randomized trial explores protein factors that support growth of IgM myeloma cells in mice, implying potential therapeutic insights.

This research aims to establish a cultured cell line of murine IgM myeloma cells and investigate factors that support their growth.
Cultured murine IgM myeloma cells (MOPC-104E) were maintained in tissue culture for over 10 months.
A protein factor obtained from mouse macrophage culture media was added, promoting cell cycle progression.
Cyclic adenosine 3′:5′-monophosphate was tested as a potential substitute for the growth factor.
The growth of MOPC-104E cells ceased without the factor, halting at the G1 stage.
Adding the factor resumed DNA synthesis after a 90-minute lag.
The factor was also present in mouse serum and its activity increased post Freund's complete adjuvant injection.

Namba et al. (1972) studied this question.
