Abstract
The effect of the cryoprotector polyethylene oxide 400 (PEO-400) on mitotic activity of human peripheral blood leukocytes was studied in cultures stimulated by phytohemagglutinin. The cytological features of growth of the blood cells when PEO)400 was added before the beginning of culture were expressed as continued ability of the cells to undergo transformation and mitotic division despite a sigificant decrease in the mitotic activity of the experimental cultures compared with the controls.
