| Abstract: | A revertant clone has been isolated from the metabolic cooperation-deficient embryonal carcinoma clone PT2md1. In PT2md1, its cooperation-competent parent, and its cooperation-competent revertant an inverse correlation has been demonstrated between cooperation competence and the incidence of microvilli. This demonstration, together with a similar correlation previously reported in an independently isolated series of cell lines, establishes a close causal relationship between the incidence of microvilli and communication deficiency. |
