Abstract
The survival of clonogenic cells in the B16 melanoma has been studied simultaneously by 3 methods: an in vitro assay in soft agar, a lung-colony assay, and the end-point dilution technique. Details of the first 2 methods have previously been reported, but those of the third are described here. The 3 methods have agreed well in investigations of the response of the B16 melanoma to cyclophosphamide.
