| Abstract |
Endothelial cells from Xenopus laevis tadpole hearts spread extremely flat
on glass surfaces. This property makes them a favourite source for
studying intracellular dynamics i.e. motility of mitochondria. For a
combination of light microscopy methods with physiological measurements
like oxygen consumption we established a permanent cell line which
preserved the main morphological properties of the primary cells. Such a
line was derived from dispase-treated hearts of stage 53 tadpoles. After
15 generations a stationary phase was reached. From cells which overcame
this phase several sublines have been established. Their altered growth
behaviour and chromosomal variations ascertain the transformed status of
the XTH cells.
