title: Platinosomes produced in cultured cells by platinum coordination complexes.
abstract: Cells in culture were exposed to cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum (II) and platinum-uracil blue. No platinum could be demonstrated in an intracellular location morphologically or by electron-probe x-ray analysis in the case of the former compound. However, platinum was readily demonstrated in phagosomes or phagolysosomes after exposure of cells to platinum-uracil blue.
