cell cycle

[Suet-Feung Chin]

dear eric,

to arrest cells in G1 phase...use serum starvation/grow to confluency
to arrest cells in S phase, the best bet is using camptothecin
to arrest cells in G2, use topoisomerase II inhibitors
to arrest cells in mitosis, use colcemid/nocodazole
hope the info is useful
