title: Is the proliferation inhibition of K562 cells by cisplatin also a membrane effect?
abstract: Using K562 tumour cells as model, the effect of cisplatin on cellular morphology and electrolyte balance was examined by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The data imply that the membrane surface alterations are a secondary effect following cross-linking reaction of this drug with DNA.
