Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) specific activity in Y-GFP and Y-GFP-ODC cell extracts. (a) ODC specific activity was measured in cell extracts obtained at different times after transfection; (—■—) Y-GFP strain; (- -- -) Y-GFP-ODC strain. (b) ODC activity in extracts of exponentially growing cultures at 60 days after transfection and clone selection. All values are the average of at least three experiments.
