The C3WlOTf CLS(1OTi) cell transformation assay has been used as an important in vitro tool for screening potential carcinogens. In this paper we describe an experimental design that increases the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. One half of the total dishes was allocated to the solvent con
## 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 We have compared the interferon sensitivity of parental 10T1/2 cells, having a phenotype characteristic of normal cells, with that of transformed cells isolated after X‐irradiation or treatment with methylcholanthrene. Transformed cells were 10‐ to 20‐fold less sensitive than the parent
## 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
