Comparative Multiparametric Analysis of HeLa and RD Cell Culture Reactions to Solcoseryl

Reactions of continuous HeLa and RD cell cultures and their nuclear and nucleolar apparatus to addition of solcoseryl into the medium were studied. The monolayer density, proliferation activity, percentage of dead cells, RNA and DNA content in the nuclei and nucleoli, number of nucleoli in the nuclei, cell distribution in the population by the number of nucleoli in the nuclei, volume and complete surface area of the nuclei and nucleoli, and the nucleolar/nuclear ratio were evaluated. The cultures differently reacted to solcoseryl in the medium at the population and cellular levels of their organization. By the results of multiparametric analysis of the reactions of cells and their nuclear and nucleolar apparatus, solcoseryl can be referred to bioactive substances with characteristics of a factor regulating cell population growth.
