Rapid screening of lipid metabolism in monolayer cell cultures
EA Dosado, AW Hsie and F Snyder
Monolayer cell cultures grown on coverslips in the presence of radioactive
lipid precursors were embedded in silica gel layers for extraction and
resolution of the labelled products directly by thin- layer chromatography.
The method permits rapid screening of lipid metabolism in tissue cultures
with a small number of cells.
