Abstract:BHK 21/13 hamster cells transformed in vitro by the Bryan (RB 12) and the Schmidt-Ruppin (RS2) strains of Rous sarcoma virus differ in their behaviour in tissue culture (Montagnier et Vigier, 1967). Whereas RS 2 cells have retained the spindle shape of the parental BHK 21/13 cells and show some contact inhibition of division in monolayers, RB 12 cells, on the contrary, are large rounded cells which rapidly pile up. RB 12 cells also have a higher cloning eficiency than R S 2 cells in liquid medium or soft agaro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
