Abstract
Cell cultures in diffusion chambers (DC) implanted into the abdominal cavity of host animals are a convenient method to study cell proliferation (Benestad 1970). Cell-to-cell interaction between cultured and host cells is prevented by the chamber walls, whereas the cultured cells may be freely exposed to humoral factors.
