| Abstract | Early passages of the NIH 3T3 mouse cell line undergo spontaneous neoplastic transformation leading to the development of transformed foci if grown to confluence in 2% (vol/vol) calf serum (CS) and left there for more than a week. Transfer of the postconfluent cultures results in the appearance of large numbers of transformed foci; many of them are larger and denser than those in the original culture. If the cells are continually kept at low population densities by frequent passages in 10% CS, they lose the capacity to undergo spontaneous transformation. If however the low-density passages are made in 2% CS or in 10% (vol/vol) fetal bovine serum, both of which support lower growth rates and saturation densities than does 10% CS, they gain the capacities to grow to high saturation densities and produce more foci when grown to confluence in 2% CS. These increases are proportional to the population densities used in the frequent passages, although the densities are all kept well below confluence. We conclude that the combined constraints of submaximal serum plus those of the limited cell contacts of the low cell densities used here elicit an adaptive response that endows the entire population with increased growth capacity. The increased growth capacity of the heterogeneous population in turn increases the capacity of a fraction of the population to initiate distinctive transformed foci. Similar studies have indicated that the capacity of cells to produce tumors and metastases in mice and rats is enhanced by prior maintenance at high density in culture. We propose the concept of progressive state selection to account for the general increase in the growth capacity of cells that is elicited by moderate constraints on their growth and metabolism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
