## Abstract The inhibition of cell proliferation by ouabain has been analyzed with respect to the cell cycle. Three lines of evidence indicate that growth rate is modified by altering to different degrees the rate of progress through stages of the cell cycle: (1) a three hour lag occurs between the

Abstract
Murine lymphoblasts grown in suspension culture in the presence of ouabain showed a dose dependent and sequential decrease in ^86^Rb^+^ (K^+^ analogue) influx, cellular potassium content, and growth rate. An increase in eosin staining and a decrease in cell number was observed after two hours in the presence of 1 mM ouabain; 1 ΞΌM ouabain was without effect on any of the parameters measured. Ouabain inhibition was rapidly and completely reversible at concentrations that were not cytotoxic.

## Abstract The effects of ouabain on the growth of murine lymphoblasts in vitro have been studied. Exposure of cells to ouabain (0.1 mM) initially inhibited ^86^Rb^+^ uptake rate, reduced the intracellular potassium concentration, and decreased population growth rates. Continued exposure to the sa
## Abstract We have shown that the murine lymphoblast, L5178Y, requires extracellular magnesium or calcium for proliferation in suspension culture. Although both cations produce biphasic effects on growth, magnesium is the more potent since it: (1) stimulates proliferation at lower concentrations;
