The effect of the cryoprotective agents glycerol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and inositol was studied on Ehrlich and 6C3HED mouse ascites tumor cells. A marked release of both nucleic acids and protein was caused by incubation for 1 h in glycerol or DMSO, an observation which suggested cell disruption. The osmolarity of ascites tumor fluid was found to be 300 ± 10 milliosmoles, a level corresponding to 2.1% DMSO, 2.2% glycerol, and 5.4% inositol. Incubation in isotonic solutions of DMSO and glycerol caused a marked release of both nucleic acids and protein. In contrast, incubation with isotonic inositol caused a release of nucleic acids but essentially no protein beyond the amount released in the control fluid of Hanks' balanced salt solution. In all cases, the release of intracellular materials was influenced by age of the tumor cells and the temperature of incubation.The specific release of nucleic acids in the presence of inositol was found to occur to greatest extent early in the incubation period. This release could be inhibited by sodium chloride.

The deformability of the surface membranes of Sarcoma 37 and Ehrlich murine ascites tumor cells was assessed by the pressure required to suck a hemispherical bulge from these cells into a micropipette. It was shown that treatment with neuraminidase allowed the cells to be deformed with significantly less suction, and that enzymatic treatment also produced a significant reduction in surface charge as determined by measurement of cellular electrophoretic mobility. It is suggested that the increase in cellular deformability may be related to charge reduction, and that the charge at the cell periphery may affect not only the magnitude of the potential energy barriers hindering contact between cells, but also the ease with which cells can form low radius of curvature probes in order to help overcome these barriers.
