title: The spontaneous release of 51Cr from labeled EL-4 ascitic lymphoma cells as dependent upon the composition of the cell population.
abstract: Investigations on the spontaneous release of 51Cr from the EL-4 ascitic lymphoma showed that daily rhythmic changes can be correlated with the dominance of certain cell types in the population. A generation time of 9.8 h, an average doubling time of 32 h, and an 'appearance cycle' of 96 h were established for the population. Earlier observed variations in the values for spontaneous 51Cr release can be explained in terms of the cellular composition of the population.
