[Analysis of the statistical characteristsics of the distribution of NK/Ly lymphoma cells obtained by laser flow cytometry].

Distributions in volumes of NK/Ly ascite lymphoma cells in different periods after inoculation were studied by laser cytometry. With the age of tumour the primary peak of distribution shifts to an area corresponding to large cells, but from the sixth day there appears an additional peak of distribution due to an accumulation of a pool of nonproliferating quiscent G0(R1) cells. The obtained data are in good agreement with results of sedimentation fractionation of NK/Ly lymphoma cells. Discrepancies in statistical characteristics of distributions, found by the both methods, are not more than 20%.
