TUMOURS ARE KNOWN to contain hypoxic cells that are resistant to treatment with radiation. Hypoxic cells in solid tumours might also be resistant to some drugs because they are situated in regions of low drug concentration, because their rate of proliferation is low (Tannock, 1.968, 1970; Hirst & Denekamp, 1979) or because oxygen is required for drug uptake or activity. Conversely, some drugs may have selective toxicity for hypoxic cells (Mohindra & Rauth, 1976; Song et al., 1976; Stratford et al., 1980) and might be used therapeutically in combination with radiation or other drugs that tend to spare hypoxic cells. We describe below the in vitro effects of 5 anti-cancer drugs on aerobic and hypoxic Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. CHO cells are maintained in our laboratory in continuous suspension culturein complete a-medium (Stanners et al., 1971) supplemented with antibioticsand 10% foetal calf serum (FCS). Cells were exposed to air or N2 at a concentration of 5 x 105 cells/ml by the method of Mohindra & Rauth (1976). Medium and cells in a volume of 8 ml were stirred continuously in small glass vials at 370C, and the humidified gas mixture flowed through inlet and outlet tubes which penetrated the stoppers of each vial. Gas mixtures were air/500 CO2 or N2/. 5% CO2 (less than 10 ptS/106 02) and a flow rate of 1-2 cubic feet/h/vial was used. V'ials were
