Effect of cell synchronization techniques on polyamine content of HeLa cells

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Synchronized cultures of mitotic HeLa cells were obtained by different protocols and the polyamine content of these cells determined. It was found that the method of synchronization can significantly change the polyamine content of the mitotic cells, and can also alter the time course of polyamine accumulation during the subsequent cell cycle.
