Malignancy of Somatic Cell Hybrids

Nature volume 224, pages 1314–1315 (1969)Cite this article

Abstract

HARRIS et al.1 have observed the suppression of the malignancy of three types of malignant cell as a result of their fusion with cells of line A9, which they considered non-malignant. Here we supplement their data with information neglected by or unavailable to them. As will be seen, this information supplies answers to at least some of the questions raised by Harris et al.1.
