Abstract

By using irradiated BALB/c 3T3 mouse fibroblasts as feeder cells, we obtained a marked increase in the cloning efficiency of the 9 human melanoma cell lines that were tested. Four of these melanoma lines had a cloning efficiency that was lower than 0.0007 in the absence of feeder cells. In the presence of irradiated 3T3 cells, their cloning efficiency ranged from 0.017 to 0.26. For most melanoma cell lines the growth rate of cultures that were seeded at a low cell density was also increased by the use of 3T3 feeder cells. In highdensity cultures, no effect was observed with most cell lines. The 3T3 effect was reversible. The pattern of surface antigens expressed by melanoma cells grown in the presence of 3T3 was similar to that observed without 3T3. The effect of feeder cells on the adaptation to culture of 5 primary melanomas was also tested. A definite improvement in cell yield was obtained with 4 of these melanomas.

Successful imaging of living human cells using atomic force microscopy (AFM) is influenced by many variables including cell culture conditions, cell morphology, surface topography, scan parameters, and cantilever choice. In this study, these variables were investigated while imaging two morphologica

## Abstract The tumor microenvironment is thought to play an important role in invasion and metastasis. Previously, we have shown that signaling from melanoma cells can alter the gene expression profiles of fibroblasts __in vitro__ and __in vivo__. To investigate whether the capacity to signal fibr

We reported earlier that IL-1 inhibits the growth of human melanoma cells (A375-6), and that these cells become resistant to IL-1 after prolonged periods of culture. The resistant cells constitutively produce IL-alpha and IL-6 with IL-6 production was induced by endogenous IL-1 in an autocrine manne
