Abstract
The mouse neuroblastoma x rat glioma hybrid cell line, NG108-15, does not synthesize serotonin from tryptophan, although the cells take up tryptophan and serotonin in a saturable manner from serum-supplemented incubation medium. Since serum commonly used to supplement the growth medium contains serotonin, it is concluded that appreciable levels of serotonin found in NG108-15 cells are attributable to uptake of serotonin from the serum-supplemented medium.
