Abstract
A method for permeabilizing chinese hamster ovary cells to nucleotides under conditions which allow most cells to remain viable was developed. Permeabilized cells can carry out ATP-dependent, semiconservative synthesis of DNA. The data are consistent with the continuation of DNA synthesis in those cells in S phase at the time of treatment, possibly limited to completion of replicon synthesis without new initiations.
