Abstract
A method is presented by which cells growing as monolayers cultured in microtitre plates can be embedded for electron microscopy. The technique has the following advantages: numerous specimens may be prepared with relatively small numbers of cells, cell-cell interactions remain undisturbed and may be enumerated, and morphology can be studied under circumstances identical with those used in cell-mediated cytotoxicity assays.
