Abstract: | Cell clones (C-9, C-24, C-36) of the cell line BHK-21 (C-13) were obtained and characterized. Compared to the original line, cells of these clones are larger in size, display an increased content of nuclear DNA and have more chromosomes. The G-bands were obtained by Giemsa staining following mild trypsin treatment. Marker chromosomes were determined in the original cell line BHK-21 (C-13) and in its large-cell clones. All the clones obtained are polyploid. |
