Effects of serum amyloid A protein on lymphocytes, HeLa, and MRC5 cells in culture

Abstract
A major human acute phase protein, the serum amyloid A protein, has been tested in vitro for its effect of lymphocyte proliferation, the formation of E-stable rosettes, as well as the growth of HeLa and MRC5 cell cultures. Serum amyloid A protein has been found to be markedly inhibitory at 30, 100, 200, and 300 .mu.g/mL, and is a very potent inhibitor of in vitro biological functions.
