INVESTIGATION OF THE METABOLISM OF TISSUE IN CULTURE WITH RADIOACTIVE TRACERS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4292788
The metabolism of various kinds of tissues of animal origin in culture was followed radiochemically. The tissue was fed substrates containing radiocarbon, and the activity of the metabolites determined with a Geiger counter after a period of incubation. Differences in metabolism in normal and cancer cells were investigated. A method is described for counting the cells in cultures based on the incorporation of radiophosphorus into the DNA of the nuclei during cultivation in the presence of phosphate of known specific activity.
