Transmission electron microscopy studies have been utilized to demonstrate that cells growing in colonies in a soft agar human tumor cloning system have ultrastructural characteristics that correspond to the accepted ultrastructural markers for the parent tumors. These studies help confirm the malignant nature of the cells growing in soft agar.
