β¦ Synopsis
There is a low uptake of leucine in suspension cultures of 3T3 cells relative to the uptake in sparse monolayer cultures. The pattern of uptake of deoxyglucose is similar in suspension and monolayer cultures and changing the medium or adding serum stimulates uptake under both culture conditions.
The uptake of uridine and adenosine is greater in suspension culture than in monolayer culture. Cells do not multiply in suspension culture but do multiply in monolayer culture and thus there is a correlation between uptake of leucine and conditions which stimulate cell multiplication, but no correlation of the uptake of deoxyglucose, uridine and adenosine with these conditions.

## Abstract 3T3 cells in subconfluent culture take up leucine through a transport system which has a relatively high affinity for leucine (M system). When the culture becomes confluent, the M system is turned off and leucine is transported by another system which has a low affinity for leucine (S s
## Abstract Transport of amino acids into 3T3 and SV3T3 (SV40 virusβtransformed 3T3) cells was measured on glass cover slips. The 3T3 and SV3T3 cells contain both A (alanine preferring) and L (leucine preferring) systems for neutral amino acid transport. Initial rates of uptake of amino acids are a
