One of the first successful attempts to establish a cell line from carcinomatous lung tissue of hu mans was that of Cailleau, who propagated, in continuous culture, cells from a mucoid adenocar cinoma (10). She described this cell line as epi thelial in origin and designated it MAC-21. This report describes the fine structure of these cells and compares their micromorphology with that of HeLa cells. The HeLa cell was selected for corn parative studies because of its epithelial origin and because a number of studies have been made of its morphology with both the optical and electron microscope. The majority of such studies, how ever, have been concerned with pathological effects involving virus infections (7, 21, 23, 29, 30). Only a limited number have been directed toward the normal fine structure of the cell (9, 18). Further data on the fine structure of the HeLa cell are presented, in addition to the description of the fine structure of the MAC-21 cell. of years. MAC-21 cells were obtained from Dr. R. Cailleau and subsequently propagated in our laboratories. The HeLa cells were grown in a culture medium consisting of 60 per cent Difco Yeast Extract Me dium, 20 per cent Hyland Sherer Maintenance So lution, 10 per cent Difco Beef Heart Infusion Broth, and 10 per cent Hyland Calf Serum. The MAC-21 cells were grown in 90 per cent Hyland 199 and Hyland 10 per cent Calf Serum. The cells were harvested after 4 and 7 days of growth, respectively, and prepared for electron microscopy in the following manner: phosphate buffered osmium tetroxide at pH 7.4 was added to give a final concentration of 1 per cent OsO4 in each culture tube and left at 4°C. for 30 mm utes. This was subsequemtly replaced with 3 ml. of Hamks solution. The cells were them detached from the walls of the culture tubes by being scraped with a rubber policeman and pelleted by centrifugatiom at 1,000 r.p.m. for 10 minutes. The pellet was dehydrated for 20-minute periods in graded ethyl alcohols and embedded in epoxy resin following the technic of Luft (26). Sectioning was accomplished with the Porter-Blum microtome The sections were stained with lead hydroxide as described by Watson (44). SUMMARY The fine structure of a cultured mucoid adenocarcinoma cell of human lung (MAC 21) is described and compared with the fine structure of the HeLa cell. The differences in …
