[Electron microscopic features of neoplastic cells (SGS-3A) cultivated in agar]

Abstract:
The agar suspension culture method was applied to enrich for neoplastic cells in cultures of a cellular strain (SGS-3) derived from Sarcoma Galliera. This method suppresses the growth of normal cells without impairing colony formation by neoplastic cells. The analysis by electron microscopy of colonies of SGS-3A cells cultured in agar medium shows that cytoplasmatic bridges are present in the regions of cell-cell contact.
