Abstract
The cytologic and histochemical characteristics of 7 established human melanoma cell lines were studied using monolayer culture and cytocentrifuge preparations. The morphology of the cells is different in the 2 preparations. There is a strong resemblance between cytocentrifuge preparations and histological tissue sections and cytologic smears that are used in routine diagnostic work.
