Abstract: | Summary We synchronized Drosophila cell lines (Schneider's line 2 and Kc) by allowing the cells to enter the stationary phase of growth and then diluting them into fresh culture medium. The cells of both cell lines entered S phase, after an 8- to 14-hr delay, in a state of partial synchrony; 60 to 80% of the cell population accumulated in S phase. Measurements of the cell cycle phases of Schneider's line 2 cells (S=14 to 16 hr; G2=6 to 8 hr; M=0.4 hr) were similar to those of Kc cells. This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration. A.R. was supported by an NIH post-doctoral fellowship, No. CA01060. |
