Human tumour clonogenicity in agar is improved by cell-free ascites.
Replacement of enriched CMRL 1066 medium by cell-free ascites from tumour patients in the human tumour clonogenic assay described by Hamburger and Salmon (1977) increased plating efficiency for ovarian cancer cells by a median of 8-fold (range 0.4-1012 fold).
