Abstract excerpt
Tumor cell variants which grow adherent to a plastic surface could be isolated in a reproducible way from the high metastatic tumor cell line ESb which grows in a suspension culture. This occurred when starting selection from the uncloned parental line as well as from a freshly derived non-adhesive subclone. The variants showed changes in their karyotype. These were quantitative (tetraploidization) and...
