On the expression of HMG I protein in quiescent and proliferating human T lymphocytes

Biochem Int. 1991 May;24(2):217-23.

Abstract

The results demonstrate that the HMG I protein is expressed in human quiescent T lymphocytes and hence is not dependent upon proliferation or neoplastic transformation. Furthermore it has been found that the HMG I/histone H1 ratio increase about two-fold after activation with phytohemagglutinin and was about the same as in a number of proliferating human leukemia lymphoma T-cell lines.
