Cytological effects of culture media conditioned B16 melanoma cells and 3T3 fibroblasts

Abstract

Cytotoxic soluble fractions (M.W.<1,000) were prepared from media conditioned by mixed cultures of 3T3 fibroblasts and B16 cells. The ultrastructural analyses of cells (B16 or 3T3) treated with these fractions revealed in them mitochondria swelling, blebs, broken membranes and dead cells
