Isozyme patterns of S-adenosylmethionine synthetase have been determined with and without dimethylsulfoxide in liver of tumor-bearing mice. The activity of the beta-form markedly increased following intraperitoneal transplantation of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, whereas the activity of the alpha-form did not change so strikingly. Tumor cells were shown to have only the gamma-form of the enzyme. When the ascites fluid, after removing tumor cells, was injected into a normal mouse, the activity of the beta-form increased over that of control animals.
