[Surface properties of L cells studied by countercurrent distribution in a 2-phase polymer system before and after cyochalasin B and colcemid exposure].

A study was made of the effect of cytochalazin B and cocemid on the line L cells of monolayer and suspension culture studied by the method of counter-current distribution in two-phase polymer system dextran-500 - polyethylenglycol-6000. It has been shown that cytochalazin B caused a decrease in the partition coefficient of both the subline cells irrespective of the growth phase of cell population. Colcemid decreases the partition coefficient in the log-phase of cell culture but increases it in the stationary phase. Effect of colcemid is not associated with the accumulation of metaphase cells in the cell population.
