Twenty‐two fragments of β‐actin and β‐actin‐related protein were isolated from the acidic extracts of rat spleen tissue. β‐Actin fragments (75–90), (78–89), and (78–88), 0.01–1 µ M , decreased live cell number of L929 murine tumor fibroblasts by 80–90%, with maximal cytotoxic effect of 30–40%. The fragments of (78–90) segment and the fragment of β‐actin‐related protein (69–77) were less active (inhibitory effect up to 55%, cytotoxic–up to 25%).
