Induction of blebbing in Ehrlich ascitic adenocarcinoma cells during in vitro hyperthermia.

We studied the effect of in vitro hyperthermia on induction of blebbing in cultured Ehrlich ascitic adenocarcinoma cells. Hyperthermia (42-48 degrees C) promotes induction of blebbing in cell culture, but this induction is reversible, and cessation of hyperthermia leads to almost complete recovery of the morphological composition of cell suspension.
