 | Proteins in the cytoplasm target and activate biochemical reactions in specific cellular components, such as the mitochondria and the nucleus. Within the nucleus, gene expression is activated and leads to new protein synthesis, which are formed on the endoplasmic reticulum. These proteins are transported via the Golgi complex for packaging and distribution to cellular membrane and for extracellular release. See artwork: (on disk in file).Credit: Jeannie Kelly (artist). |  | This illustration with and without text, explains how a normal cell becomes a cancer cell. An oncogene in a normal cell appears to regulate and influence cell growth and division. When a cancer causing agent affects a cell's DNA and the oncogene is activated, a cancer cell develops. See artwork: GA-17.Credit: Jane Hurd (artist). |
 | This graphic illustrates the stages of how a normal cell is converted to a cancer cell, when an oncogene becomes activated.Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |  | When a t-cell encounters a foreign antigen, the resting t-cell becomes activated. Activated t-cells both secrete il-2 and express il-2 receptors. Il-2 promotes the growth of normal t-cells, which help defend the body against cancer.Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |
 | A technique called in situ hybridization shows whether a gene is actively expressed in cells, and also provides clues to the gene's function. This technique has helped identify activated oncogenes in cancer cells, and their normal counterparts in normal cells, in many different species. In this photograph, a labeled DNA segment (a known oncogene) has been put into a mouse oocyte, a cell that develops into a mature egg cell. The labeled DNA has paired with (or hybridized to) multiple copies of RNA in the mouse oocyte. The presence of this RNA (shown here as black dots inside the nucleus of the immature cell) shows that the normal cellular counterpart of the oncogene is active, suggesting that it is critical for normal germ cell development. Expression of genes is manifested by the production of RNA transcripts within cells. Hybridization histochemistry (in situ hybridization) permits localization of these transcripts with cellular or greater resolution. Furthermore, the relative amounts of transcripts detected within different tissues or the same tissues under different states (e.g., physiological or developmental) may be quantified. See artwork: GA-17.Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |  | Mice were injected with mouse sarcoma cells amd treated 3 days later when many micro-metastatic tumor foci were evident in the lungs. Lungs on the left were treated with saline. The lungs on the right were treated with lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells plus recombinant interleukin-2. Greater than 250 sarcoma metastases are seen in the lungs of saline treated mice. This number is significantly reduced to less than 12 in mice receiving LAK cells plus recombinant interleukin-2. Normal mouse lung is 1 inch long.Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |
