Initiation of chick cell division by trypsin action at the cell surface

Nature volume 268, pages 602–606 (1977)Cite this article

Abstract

Trypsin immobilised on polystyrene beads causes initiation of cell division which cannot be accounted for by trypsin released into the medium or into the cells. Also, initiation by soluble trypsin is inhibited by immobilised soybean trypsin inhibitor. These results demonstrate that trypsin can initiate proliferation at the cell surface.
