✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Rous‐sarcoma transformed BHK cells can be continuously cultured in a medium containing Eagle's Minimal Essential Medium, iron and biotin. The rate of cell multiplication increased when serine, or serine plus other non‐essential amino‐acids were added to the medium. With biotin deleted from the medium there is a reduction in DNA synthesis and most cells are blocked in G1.

## Abstract The growth requirements of SV40 transformed Balb/c‐3T3 cells have been studied in the absence of serum. For growth in serum‐free medium, the cells require (i) insulin, (ii) transferrin, and (iii) cis‐unsaturated fatty acids added in combination with fatty acid free bovine serum albumin.
## Abstract Serum‐free conditioned media was collected from three sarcoma virus‐transformed cell lines and an untransformed cell line. All three virally transformed lines produced and released growth factors into their serum‐free media. The major activity in all cases, whether the cells were transf

We have recently described the development of a serum-free medium that contains casein, insulin, testosterone, transferrin, and linoleic acid and that supports the long-term growth of a wide variety of lymphoid cells. A problem of culturing cells in this medium is the difficulty of cloning cells or
