Abstract

Permanent cell lines can be remarkably tolerant of unphysiological conditions and just such lines, for example the HeLa line, have established themselves worldwide for all kinds of applications in cell culture laboratories. This means that many laboratories work apparently successfully even if the culture conditions are not optimal.
