Synchronization of growth of human HeLa S3 cells has been effected by a purely selective method which takes advantage of the tenuous binding of cells to the growth surface during mitosis. The harvested populations are 85-90% mitotic, and have growth parameters that can not be distinguished from the corresponding parameters in random populations. The following average durations were found for the phases of the DNA synthetic cycle, using autoradiographic methods: post-mitotic (G1), 41% of the median intermitotic time; DNA synthetic (S), 46%; pre-mitotic (G2), 11%; and mitotic, 3%. The average rate of DNA synthesis during the S phase was found to pass through a maximum approximately midway through that phase, and there are indications that the rate of synthesis in individual cells behaves similarly. The average rate of RNA synthesis showed at least a threefold increase during interphase. No RNA synthesis was detected in mitotic cells. The average cell volume was found to increase two-fold in a non-linear fashion. Desynchronization of the population appears to arise largely during the G1 phase.
