The F-40 cell line, a stable variant of LM fibroblasts selected for its resistance to polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced fusion (Roos and Davidson: Somatic Cell and Molecular Genetics 6:381-391, 1980), has a decreased capacity to internalize fluid-phase markers and nonspecifically surface-bound macro

Vertebrate mechanosensory hair cells contain a narrow "pericuticular" zone which is densely populated with small vesicles between the cuticular plate and cellular junctions near the apical surface. The presence of many cytoplasmic vesicles suggests that the apical surface of hair cells has a high tu
## Abstract Variants or “mutants” temperature‐sensitive (ts) for growth have been isolated by selection from a near‐diploid mouse cell line. Thus far. 10 ts mutants which grow normally at 33° C, but not at 39° C, have been isolated. These ts mutants were then studied to determine if any manifested
Methotrexate (MTX) covalently linked to poly(L-lysine) [poly(Lys)] enters cells by endocytosis, is degraded in lysosomes and, upon liberation of small molecular methotrexate, is cytocidal to Chinese hamster cells in culture. This drug conjugate was used to select mutants resistant to MTX-poly(Lys),
Accumulation and release of a fluid-phase marker ([14C]-sucrose) were studied in a subline of the mouse lymphocytic cell line L5178Y and in a polyethylene glycol-resistant, intercellular-fusion-impaired mutant of this line. The mutant was found to accumulate [14C]-sucrose at a significantly slower r
