Effect of ethanol and prednisolone on growth rate and adherence of normal and SV 40 transformed hamster fibroblasts.
Ethanol decreases the growth rate of normal cells, prednisolone increases it. These factors have no effect on the growth rate of transformed cells. Ethanol increases the detachment and mortality of transformed cells, prednisolone has an inverse effect. Both factors affect neither adherence nor mortality of normal cells.
