title: The effect of alkaline pH on the cell growth of six different mammalian cells in tissue culture.
abstract: The effect of high alkaline pH on the reinitiation of cell growth was studied in six different mammalian cells. We failed to confirm the observation of Zetterberg & Engström, Proc natl acad sci US 78 (1981) 4334 [17] and Exp cell res 144 (1983) 199 [18]. Treatment of quiescent cells at pH 9.5 did not stimulate cell growth when measured by total protein/flask or increase in cell number.
