[Expression of the Oct-2 protein during cell differentiation in vivo and in vitro]

The expression of an Oct-binding protein Oct-2 was studied during differentiation of three cell lines. Two inductors were used in our experiments: retinoic acid and DMSO. It was shown that all these cells have heterogeneous population of Oct-2 mRNA. Under differentiation the pattern of Oct-2 RNA and expression of active Oct-2 proteins was changed.
