Abstract
The damage to tumor cells following the application of Solarson, an arsenical medicine to remove warts, was cytologically studied in HeLa and HL-C cells in tissue culture. The abnormalities induced in cultured cells by the agent are: partial agglutination of chromatin, swelling or deformation of nucleoli, and the production of cytoplasmic inclusions. The pattern of response to Solarson was similar between HeLa and HL-C cells, while the effect was more severe in the former than in the latter at comparatively low concentration.
