Abstract
Ehrlich cells subjected to anisoosmolar media show very rapid volume changes. In hypertonic media they shrink. In hypotonic media they swell but the rapid initial swelling is followed by a regulatory shrinkage lasting ca. 30 minutes.
Cells suspended in media with identical ionic concentrations but different total osmolarity (adjusted by sucrose) were compared. These studies revealed that swollen cells adjust their volume by decreasing the amount of intracellular K^+^ and ninhydrin positive substances. Intracellular Na^+^ and ATP concentrations were unchanged. Accordingly ^42^K^+^ flux analysis showed that the (passive) cell membrane permeability for K^+^ is increased to a minor degree and the Na^+^ permeability unaffected. The increased K^+^ permeability could not be correlated to an increase in ^45^Ca^2+^ influx.

Data from isotopic uptake experiments were used to measure the kinetics of labelling of cellular phosphate, ATP and ADP in the Ehrlich ascites tumor cell. The results show that steady state phosphate exchange flux was 0.333 % 0.052 (S.E.) pmoles per lo' cells per hour at 37", and that the specific a
## Abstract The steady state transport and distribution of chloride between the intracellular and extracellular phases was investigated when the extracellular chloride concentration was varied by isosmotic replacement with nitrate, bromide and acetate. The results of these experiments show that chl
## Abstract Data from isotopic uptake experiments were used to measure calcium fluxes and compartment sizes in ascites tumor cells. The data were analyzed with two kinetic models, A and B. In 80% of the experiments model A, which is based on one exchangeable calcium compartment, was rejected in fav
## Abstract Previous studies have shown that mediated Cl^β^ transport which occurs by at least two processes (Cl^β^βdependent cation cotransport and Cl^β^ selfβexchange) becomes progressively inhibited when extracellular Cl^β^ exceeds about 60 mM (Hoffmann et al., 1979). To account for this type of
