Low density lipoprotein-induced growth of U937 cells: a novel method to determine the receptor binding of low density lipoprotein.

U937 is a monocytic cell-line originally derived from a histiocytic lymphoma. In serum-free medium the growth of U937 cells was stimulated by addition of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Methylation of LDL impaired its ability to be taken up in U937 cells as well as the capacity to stimulate the growt...
