Differentiating effect of l-tyrosine on the human melanoma cell line IIB-MEL-J

IIB-MEL-J is a highly heterogeneous newly established human melanoma cell line. The addition of 3 mM, l-tyrosine to the culture medium produced (1) a great decrease in the cell growth rate, (2) a loss of the anchorage-independent growth capacity, and (3) a change in the morphology of the cells to a...
