In Vitro Use Guide
Rous sarcoma virus-transformed cells were labeled for 2 h with either 1 mCi of [3H]palmitic acid or 0.2 mCi of [3H]myristic acid, and p60src was isolated by immunoprecipitation. The incorporation of [3H]myristic acid into p60src was ca. 100-fold greater than the incorporation of [3H]palmitic acid.
