Western blot analysis of c-myc transfectants. Expression of c-Myc (B) and HSP70 (A) in cultured human melanoma cells determined by western blotting. Ten, 20, and 30 μg of total protein of myc (7.1) were loaded in lanes 1–3, respectively. In lanes 4 and 5, 30 μg of myc (7.4) and IGR39D-neo protein were loaded.

Growth rates of c-myc transfectants and vector control.In vitro growth of c-myc transfected human melanoma cells compared with vector control. Cell numbers were determined by Coulter Counter and each time point represents quadruplicate wells. IGR39D-neo (○), myc (7.4) (▿), and myc (7.1) (▵). SD shown as error bars.

Colony formation in soft agar. Increased c-Myc expression alters anchorage-independent growth of human melanoma cells in vitro. The number of colonies in soft agar larger than 0.1 mm in diameter was evaluated by light microscopy 4 wk after plating. Results are from quadruplicate experiments. SD shown as error bars.
