Abstract

A tumorigenic human cell line was derived from a patient with metastatic melanoma. Cells were treated with adriamycin or actinomycin D in order to assess morphological alterations induced by these anticancer agents using SEM and TEM. TEM of colonies treated in soft agar for 24 hours with either 1. 0 mu g/ml adriamycin or 1. 0 mu g/ml actinomycin D showed major morphological effects identified by increased cytoplasmic vacuolization and nuclear disintegration.
