Abstract

An aging process has been detected in stationary 3T3 cell cultures, especially in the presence of plasma‐derived serum (PDS) from adult bulls. It leads to irreversible conversion of an increasing percentage of initially responsive cells of a stationary population into cells unresponsive to growth stimulation by newborn calf serum (NBCS) or reseeding at low cell density in the presence of NBCS. These unresponsive cells are viable in the sense that, following trypsinization, they reattach and spread on a new culture plate and can be maintained for many days. The conversion process is accelerated by increasing PDS concentration. It is antagonized by NBCS. It is accompanied by enhancement of growth‐inhibiting interactions exerted by stationary 3T3 cell populations on SV 40–3T3 cells.

The possibility that one or both of the synthetic triarnines, 1,3,6-triarninohexane and 1,4,7-triarninoheptane, could substitute for the naturally occurring polyarnines in the growth of SV-3T3 cells was investigated. It was found that these triarnines did lead to a restoration of growth in cells in

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates the initiation of DNA synthesis in Swiss 3T3 cells after a constant prereplicative period of 14-15 hours. The final rate of initiation follows apparent first-order kinetics and can thus be quantified by a rate constant k. The value of k can be changed by late
