Abstract
[3H]-TdR and [3]-udR labelling indices and mitotic indices were followed in tumour-bearing mice after application of either 5-fluorouracil (FU) alone or of FU followed by cold TdR infusion. With FU alone, accumulation of cells at the beginning of S was found, but there was no indication of a synchronous passage of the accumulated cells further round the cycle. When FU injection was followed by cold TdR infusion, a synchronous passage of the accumulated cells through the cycle was observed. However, there was a large variation in the response of individual mice to this treatment.
