MATERIALS AND METHODSLivers were excised from male Sprague-Dawley albino rats (300400 gm), and chilled in ice-cold 0.85% NaCl. They were then minced with scissors, washed thoroughly with ice-cold saline, and pushed through three stainless-steel sieves (Dual Manufacturing Co., Chicago, Ill., sizes 420, u, 250 p, and 177 p)(3) using gloved fingers. The cells were washed through the sieves with cold saline. The resulting single-cell suspension was spun for 5 min at 5000 rpm at 2” and the supernatant solution was discarded. The cell pellet was resuspended in cold 0.85% saline by gently working the cells through a 17-gage hypodermic needle. Partial hepatectomies were performed under ether anesthesia according to the method of Higgins and Anderson (4).“H-Methylthymidine(specific activity 8.7 Ci/mmole) was purchased from International Chemical and Nuclear Corp., Irvine, Calif.). Trypsin, chymotrypsin, and cu-amylase were obtained from Nutritional Biochemicals.For routine measurement of DNA synthesis, approximately 1 X lo6 cells were incubated at 37” in Difco, minimal Eagle’s medium (Spinner modified for suspension cultures, No. 5838) containing 1000 units of penicillin and 1000 pg of streptomycin per milliliter. 3H-Methylthymidine (8 X 10G cpm) was added to the suspension (final volume 2 ml) in 10 ml polyethylene tubes. In general, the incubation periods were from 15 min to 1 hr for these experiments. After incubation the cells were quickly spun down at 10,000 rpm and 2” for 5 min, washed twice by resuspension on a vortex mixer in 2 ml of 0.05 M potassium EDTA (pH 7.0)(ice cold), and then assayed for radioactive label incorporat. ed by either the “acid” technique or the ‘Lphenol” method (both described below). Liquid scintillation counting was performed in a Packard Tri-Carb model 3375 liquid scintillation counter using 10 ml of Aquasol fluid (Nuclear-Chicago Corp.).
