Tumour cells in vitro responded to prolonged treatment with colchicine with the formation of annulate lamellae. Following the colchicine treatment, paracrystals were induced with vinblastine. A close association of annulate lamellae with vinblastine-induced crystals was observed. The hypothesis that annulate lamellae and the related unclear membrane with the pore complexes may play a role in the control of the cytoplasmic microtubule complex is discussed.
