Aufnahme von thymidin durch mastocytomzellenin vitro unter der einwirkung von podophyllumstoffen

TL;DR: SP-G and SP-I, two podophyllum preparations with spindle poison activity, were tested for their effect on3H-thymidine incorporation into P-815 mastocytoma cellsin vitro and did not affect DNA-synthesis as measured by thymidine incorporate.
