Summary
Changes in the permeability of the cell membrane in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells at different stages of the cell cycle were investigated. These were followed by measuring the intracellular retention of fluorescein molecules produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of fluoresceindiacetate in the cytoplasm of CHO cells. Rate constants for the permeation of fluorescein have been calculated.
