Vinblastine-induced formation of annulated lamellae in SV3T3 cells.
SV40-transformed 3T3 cells formed microtubular crystals in the cytoplasm when treated with vinblastine sulfate. Annulated lamellae, an unusual intracellular organelle found in some actively proliferating cell types, appeared concurrently with the formation of microtubular crystals. Although crystals were also seen in non-transformed 3T3 cells treated with vinblastine, annulated lamellae were not found.
