Abstract

Transcription of the c-rel proto-oncogene was induced transiently when resting mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts were stimulated with serum or phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate. Addition of cycloheximide increased the steady-state levels of c-rel mRNA. These results indicate that c-rel is another member of the early-response gene family.
