title: Cell surface coatings and membrane potentials of malignant and nonmalignant cells.
abstract: A positive surface potential indicating a cell coating is common to malignant cells, lymphocytes, and normal and malignant trophoblastic cells. This characteristic was not generally found for other normal cell types tested by microelectrode penetration.
