## Abstract SV101, the SV40‐transformed subline of the mouse fibroblast line 3T3, is both serum‐ and density transformed, since it grows in both 1% and 10% calf serum, and grows beyond confluence in 10% calf serum. Negative selection at low cell density in 1% calf serum or in 10% agamma‐depleted se

Abstract
Treatment of the SV40 transformed 3T3 cell line SV101 with colchicine permits the isolation of polyploid revertant sublines Which have lower saturation densities than SV101. These low saturation density lines have also reverted to a high serum requirement for growth, and are unable to form colonies in methocel. Normal SV40 has been recovered from these revertants.
3T3 cells are more resistant to colchicine than SV3T3 cells at all cell densities. Colchicine revertants do not display a 3T3‐like resistance to colchicine at low density, but do survive colchicine at confluent cell densities, presumably due to their increased contact inhibition.

## Abstract 3T3 mouse fibroblasts in 10% calf serum cease to increase in number at confluence. SV40‐transformed 3T3 cells lose their sensitivity to this growth control and so are able to reach multilayered cell densities. We previously described a polyploid revertant line F1SV101, isolated from a S
## Abstract The ability to synthesize DNA and enter mitosis was studied in Balb/c and Swiss 3T3 cells, SV40 and MSV‐transformed 3T3 cells and revertants of these transformed cells in cultures of different serum concentrations and cell densities. Three ways were found by which cells were able to mai
We previously reported that Kirsten sarcoma virus transformed BALB 3T3 (Ki-3T3) cell cultures contained mainly type I collagen and about 30% of another type designated by us as Y and which appears to be type I11 collagen, krl(III)13. Clones of BALB 3T3 which exhibited contactinhibition were found to
