Effects of cytochalasin H on the embryonic endodermal cells of Microhyla ornata.
Cytochalasin H (CH) like CB causes disaggregation of embryonic endodermal cells and reduces their adhesivity to the glass surface. These cells reaggregate on removal of the drug from the medium. Reversibility depends on the duration of drug treatment. The mechanism of drug action is explained.
