In an attempt to establish an in vitro short-term test to detect tumorpromoting agents, we studied the effects of these agents on Junctional intercellular communication in cultured Chinese hamster V79 cells using a microinjection-dye transfer technique. When Lucifer Yellow CH solu tion is injected into a cell, the average number of cells that become fluorescent after 10 min is 11.6 ±7.8 (SD). ...
