Abstract
While staying last summer at the Sloan-Kettering Institute, New York, one of us tried out some modifications of Hsu’s technique (1952) on various human tissue cultures carried in serial in vitro cultivation at that institute. The results were promising inasmuch as some fairly satisfactory chromosome analyses were obtained in cultures both of tissues of normal origin and of tumours (Levan, 1956).
