Quantity Production of Synchronized Mammalian Cells in Suspension Culture

Abstract

SYNCHRONIZED cultures offer advantages in investigations of the sequence of biochemical changes occurring during the life-cycle of the mammalian cell. Such investigations suffer generally because present methods of producing synchronized cells do not provide immediately sufficient material to permit the use of classical analytical techniques. This communication describes a method by which gram quantities of synchronized cells representing a predetermined segment of the life-cycle can be produced.
