Abstract

In this study we determined the levels of gamma enolase mRNA in mouse neuroblastoma cell line N-115 at early period of induction of differentiation by serum withdrawal. The expression of gamma enolase was examined by Northern blot analysis of total RNA extracted from cells induced for different lengths of time. We found a 3-fold increase in the level of gamma enolase mRNA after 24 hours of induction of differentiation and higher levels were detected in cells induced for longer time, reaching a 10-fold increase after four days.
