Variation in Sensitivity to Heat Shock during the Cell-cycle of Chinese Hamster Cells in Vitro
Abstract
SummaryWhen asynchronous cells were exposed for 4–100 min to heat shocks of 43·5–46·5°c, a sigmoidal relationship between survival and duration of heat treatment was observed. From an Arrhenius plot, an activation energy of 140 800 cal/mole was calculated, which is similar to that reported for the heat denaturation of several proteins.Heating of synchronous cells, obtained by the selective removal of mitotic cells from an asynchronous population, revealed that the mitotic and S phases were the most sensitive, primarily indicated by the smaller shoulders on the survival curves compared with the curve for cells heated in the resistant G1 phase. The mitotic cells failed to complete cytokinesis and appeared in the next division as tetraploid cells. For heat treatments which reduced the survival to only 50 per cent, the mitotic delay was about 11 hours (regardless of the phase heated). These results for heat contrast sharply with results for x-irradiation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
