Summary

Colonies of hamster embryo cells transformed by adenovirus type 12 are characterized by, among other things, the tight packing of small polygonal cells. These cells react selectively with DNA specific reagents. Counting of colonies after reaction with Feulgen or Toluidine blue was possible with the naked eye, and gave counts superior to those in unstained condition under the microscope.
