Drifter technique: a new method to obtain metaphases in Hep-2 cell line cultures

The Hep-2 cell line is derived from laryngeal carcinoma cells and is often utilized as a model in carcinogenesis and mutagenesis tests. To evaluate the proliferative potential of this line, we developed a cytogenetic methodology (drifter technique) to obtain metaphases from cells that loose cellular...
