The quantitative estimation of migration ability of transformed fibroblast-like cells of various epecies (mouse , rat, hamster, man) cultured on the substratum with grooves of various depth (5--40 mcm) was performed. Of the majority of 11 cell lines examined, a reduced migration capacity up to its total disappeanance was registered as compared with the homological normal embryonic cells. A more pronounced reduction of migration ability was shown in mouse and rat transformed cells and less in human ones. Migration of transformed hamster cells was just equal to the weak migrtion of normal hamster embryonis cells. These data shown a weak response of the analysed transformed cells to the relief of underlying substratum.
