โฆ Synopsis
There are few data available on cell cycle events that occur when proliferation of normal cells in culture is curtailed due to "natural aging" of the culture conditions. Stathmokinetic and cytofluorometry studies were performed on PHA-stimulated human lymphocyte cultures for eight consecutive days. Cell proliferation peaked on day 5 and then gradually decreased. Percent labeled mitosis curves performed each day demonstrated that, for those cells which progressed to mitosis, the cell cycle time remained constant at 18 & 1 hour throughout the entire period of culture. However when the fate of all cells pulse-labeled with "-thymi-

## Abstract We have examined the effect of alphaโmethylmannoside (ฮฑโMM) addition to concanavalin A (con A)โstimulated peripheral human lymphocytes. With a previously established kinetic model, we have, from the time course of proliferation, extracted the responding clone size, rate of entry of this
The possible involvement of DNA topoisomerase I in cell transition from C , to G , and in progression through the cell cycle was studied by estimating the ability of human peripheral blood lymphocytes to undergo mitogenic stimulation in the presence of the topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin (CAM
