IN investigating the cell proliferation of normal tissue in rodents individual animals have to be used for each experimental time interval and thus the problem of inter-animal variation is always present. This presents a particular problem when the cell cycle is investigated by the method in which the fraction of mitoses labelled is plotted against time1.
