Abstract

1 The survey of the literature pertaining to this review was concluded in Janu­ ary, 1962. • The following abbreviations are used: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid); RNA (ribonucleic acid). I Material for this review was gathered to aid a cancer research training program supported by National Cancer Institute Grant CRTY-5010 to Dr. Jerome T. Syverton. The form of the review, but not its final expression, was decided before Dr. Syverton's death in January, 1961. ROSS, TREADWELL AND SYVERTON of any determinative system must depend on usefulness as well as feasibil­ ity, and that the basis of determination is thereby complicated. Animal cell culture occupies an odd position in science because it is a procedure, not a discipline, and it is practiced with microbiologic technique, but not primarily by microbiologists. The significance of cultural characterization and the bases of possible study vary with the diverse interests of investi­ gators. Furthermore, although the investigators are not microbiologists in the usual sense, they are committed to a microbiological approach to cell culture for two reasons.
