TL;DR
It is shown that the inducer is a protein, with a molecular weight of 65-70,000, whose inducing activity was about 1 ng per colony, whose activity was regained by the addition of adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP).
Abstract
A substance produced by various types of cells can induce from single hematopoietic cells the formation of colonies of normal macrophages and granulocytes. This inducer has been purified 600-fold from serum-free conditioned medium from a tissue culture line of mouse cells. It is shown that the inducer is a protein, with a molecular weight of 65-70,000, whose inducing activity was about 1 ng per colony. Acrylamide gel electrophoresis of this material gave four bands, only one of which contained inducing activity. The purified protein was inactive. Activity was regained by the addition of a low molecular weight cofactor that is present in conditioned medium. Under certain conditions, activity was also regained by the addition of adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP).

Results indicate that the surface membrane of transformed cells contains sites that interact with the alpha-MG binding sites of ConA, that such sites can be found on the surface membranes of normal cells after treatment with trypsin, and that the change in the surface structure from normal to transformed occurs in cells that are abortively transformed.
