Abstract
In vitro growth of rat atriocaval epithelial tumor cells (ACT-1) was enhanced by the inclusion of xenogeneic mouse adherent peritoneal exudate cells (PECs) in a two-layer soft agar system. A linear relationship was found between the number of cells plated and the number of colonies when ACT-1 tumor cells were plated at plating densities of between 1 and 5 X 10(5) cell/60 mm plate (r = 0.9, P less than 0.001). Inclusion of irradiated PECs in the bioassay for tumor stem cells resulted in a two and a half-fold increase in colony formation in three separate experiments (P less than 0.001).
