pubmed:abstractText
Synchronization of mammalian cell cultures is a prerequisite for studies of molecular mechanisms of cell cycle control. Many researchers routinely use widely spread tumor cell lines like HeLa for these purposes, and a great variety of synchronization protocols has been described. Generally, they have been developed for monolayer cultures, usually with satisfactory results. However, we found that is not necessarily the case for cells cultivated in suspension. A critical appraisal of different standardized methods for selective enrichment of HeLa cells in suspension in all phases of the cell cycle has been undertaken. Our results reveal that only a few of the applied procedures can really yield high numbers of synchronized cells in G1, S, G2, and M phases, working with suspension cultures.
