Abstract
Growth of Fu5AH hepatoma cells in tissue culture medium supplemented with hyperlipemic rabbit serum results in the accumulation of cholesteryl ester-rich, anisotropic inclusions similar to the inclusions which accumulate in atherosclerotic aorta of man and animals. Scanning electron microscopic studies of whole cells and isolated inclusions have been performed. The chemical composition of cellular lipid inclusions has been determined and can be related to the observed anisotropicisotropic phase transition temperatures.
