## Abstract In order to increase the sensitivity of the C3H/10T1/2 CL8 (10T1/2) cell transformation system, we increased the chemical exposure period to a total of 6 days (two consecutive 3‐day exposures). Using this modified procedure, we transformed 10T1/2 cells with procarcinogens such as aflato

Abstract
The uptake of ^3^H‐thymidine in post‐confluent cultures of methylcholanthrene‐transformed C3H/10T1/2 mouse embryo cells was markedly higher than in their non‐transformed counterparts. In a reconstruction experiment as few as 2% transformed cells could be detected by increased thymidine uptake. Measurements made at various times up to 110 days in multi‐chambered plates revealed that after 25 days methyl‐cholanthrene‐treated cultures incorporated significantly more thymidine than the acetone‐treated controls. This increased uptake correlated with the appearance of Type III transformed foci.
