title: [The proliferative characteristics of cells in culture during perfusion of the medium].
abstract: The proliferation of Chinese hamster fibroblasts (CHF) and NIH 3T3 cells was studied at different flow rates immediately above the cells. It is shown that there is a limiting density of saturation of the perfused culture that accounts for 1.7 x 10(6) - 2.0 x 10(6) cells/cm2 for NIH 3T3 cells, and for 6 x 10(6) - 7 x 10(6) cells/cm2 for CHF. The growth curves and the distribution of cells with respect to the phases of the cell cycle during cultivation with and without perfusion are presented. Based on the results obtained it is assumed that the limit of saturation density of perfused CHF culture is due to the mass transfer of the growth-inhibiting metabolites inside the multilayer structures. The assumption seems to hold true for NIH 3T3 cells, too, even though the multilayer character of growth of this culture is less pronounced than in CHF.
