    Abstract

    The effects of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide to codons 2-7 of the oncogene MYCN on the human neuroblastoma cell line LAN-5 were studied. Treated cells showed a decreased MYCN protein expression and synthesis by immunoperoxidase staining and immunoprecipitation. At the same time, the replication rate was inhibited, and the phenotype was modified toward a more differentiated type. Our data suggest the involvement of oncogene MYCN in both proliferative and differentiative processes.
