P.1390 2nd paragraph: "PC12 and COS7 cell cultures were prepared. The two cultures vary significantly in mean cell size (Figure 1). PC12 cells have a diameter of ~10-12 microns, while COS7 cells have an average diameter of ~20-25 microns. The cells were centrifuged, suspended and placed in an Eppendorf tube." Wikipedia: "PC12 is a cell line derived from a pheochromocytoma of the rat adrenal medulla, that have an embryonic origin from the neural crest that has a mixture of neuroblastic cells and eosinophilic cells." Wikipedia: "COS is a fibroblast-like cell line derived from monkey kidney tissue." |
