CELL BEHAVIOR IN TISSUE CULTURES

Abstract

1. Certain isolated cells from tissue cultures of Fundulus embryos have been described. 2. These cells posess fan-shaped films which are adherent to the cover glass. 3. These films are the motor organs of the cells by means or which they glide on the under surface of the cover glass. 4. The tactile reactions of these cells and of the chromatophores are described. 5. The relation of this type of cell movement to amœboid movement is discussed.
