  1. Cells were subjected to flow cytometric DNA analysis as described in Methods. Different concentrations of PE inhibited the re-entry of the cell population into S phase of the cell cycle. Data show the number of cells in each phase of the cell cycle. Values are the mean ± S.E. of three independent experiments performed in duplicate on different batches of cells (Total events per cycle is 10,000 cells).
