Instructions to Authors
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
When submitting a manuscript for consideration, authors should select one of the eight matrix headings, which best covers the scope of the manuscript submitted, as the section of the journal in which the article should appear.
The journal publishes three types of manuscripts: Reports, Articles, and Invited Reviews. Reports (formerly Scientific Letters to the Editor) are usually limited to three printed pages and no more than three illustrations that contain especially timely results that are of special interest to readers before development into a complete study. The Report format is particularly suited for characterizations of new cell lines, tools, techniques, and methods that do not justify a full Article. Reports receive expedited peer review and are subject to additional editorial review prior to final publication to comply with the Report format. Articles are not restricted in length, although page charges for papers over nine typeset pages are at a higher rate. Letters to the Editor (formerly nonscientific Letters to the Editor) concerning a wide range of issues of interest to readers including controversial opinions, quality control of cell cultures, etc. are welcomed and are subject to editorial or peer review. Unsolicited Reviews on relevant topics will be considered; however, it is recommended that authors contact the Editor prior to preparation. Both unsolicited and Invited Reviews are subject to rigorous editorial review, often in consultation with multiple experts in the field.
Animal manuscripts should be submitted online at invitro-animal.allentrack.net. To format your manuscript submission properly, please read the sections on Arrangement; References; Illustrations, figures, and tables; Cell line and reagent data; and Nomenclature.

Submission of a manuscript implies that all authors have agreed to its submission and that the manuscript is neither under consideration for publication elsewhere nor has appeared previously in part or in whole. Manuscripts will be reviewed by experts in their field. Reviewer and editorial opinions will be anonymously communicated to authors. Revised manuscripts will retain the original date of receipt if the revised version is received by the Editorial Office within 3 months.
HARD COPY SUBMISSIONS
If electronic/web submission is impractical or impossible, authors are required to submit three unstapled hard copies, a cover letter, a word processing disk, and a completed copyright transfer form to the Editorial Office. Authors are also required to submit contact information for three to six individuals outside their institutions who are qualified to referee the manuscript (Name of the institution plus e-mail addresses and/or fax numbers are preferred.) Authors may also provide names of individuals they wish to exclude from the review process. Please send this information to: Wallace L. McKeehan, Editor; In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal; Institute of Biosciences and Technology; Texas A&M University System Health Science Center; 2121 W. Holcombe Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77030-3303; Phone: (713) 677-7524; Fax: (713) 677-7512; E-mail: invitro@ibt.tamu.edu. Authors outside North America may send manuscripts directly to the Editorial Office in Houston, Texas, or to an International Corresponding Editor.
Requirements for hard copy submissions: Manuscripts must be in concise English, on standard-size paper, typewritten, double-spaced (including tables, references, and legends for figures), and with 1-inch (2.54-cm) margins. Authors must submit the final revised version of the manuscript on computer disk together with three hard copies. Hard copy manuscripts not submitted on disk will result in an additional charge of $50 to the author. These should be sent to the Editor's Office. Zip disks, CD-ROM, 3-?disks, or 5-? disks are acceptable, and they may be single- or double-sided and low or high density. Word for Windows is the preferred program. IBM-compatible/PC disks are preferred. Indicate on the disk label the manuscript number, the name of the first author, the software (including the version), and the system used.
All photographs, text figures, and tables should be mounted on standard-size white paper, numbered in agreement with the text, identified with the title of the manuscript and the author's name, and placed after the last page of text with each page numbered. Photographs should be printed on glossy paper. For each figure, indicate the number of the figure, the top of the drawing, and the author's name.
ARRANGEMENT
For both online and hard-copy submissions, the first page should carry title, all author names, institutions, condensed title for running head (not to exceed 35 letters and spaces), and full address of the author who will receive proofs and reprint orders. You MUST include telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address. The second page should contain a summary, not to exceed 250 words. The summary serves as an abstract for abstracting journals and must be followed by four to six key words for indexing purposes. These words should not be contained in the title.
The manuscript should be assembled in the following order: Title page (including full title, title footnote, byline, and running title), Footnotes, Summary, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgment(s), References, Tables, Figure Legends. Figures should be included as separate files. Combination of Results and Discussion is acceptable. All pages should be numbered consecutively starting with the title page. Footnotes should be used only in tables as superscript lowercase letters and placed at the bottom of the page containing the table. Usage of abbreviations should be minimized. Spell out the abbreviated term followed by the abbreviation in parentheses where it is first cited in the summary, the text, and the figure legends. Abbreviations should not be used in the title.
The Report format is similar to that for Articles and Reviews described above, except that the body of the text is not divided into sections or subheadings. Methods are integrated into the text or legend to figures and Results and Discussion are combined.
REFERENCES
References must conform to the style of the Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers. 6th ed. In-text references should be cited parenthetically in author-year format in chronological, then alphabetical, order. A comma precedes the year, and entries are separated with a semicolon: (Murray and Kirchner, 1989; Pardee, 1989; Dirick et al., 1991, 1993b; Sherr, 1996).
The References listing should be arranged in alphabetical order. A single author precedes the same first author with coauthors. Provide Index Medicus journal title abbreviations; provide inclusive pages of work cited; provide title in the original language (when reproducible in the English alphabet), and state whether it is translated. Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy of all references. Authors should confirm all references on the final manuscript with original publications. Cite as references only papers that have been accepted for publication. Cite manuscripts in preparation, unpublished results, personal communications, etc., parenthetically in the text. Authors should verify personal communications with the supplier of the information. The recommended citation style for references to manuals, books and journals is shown in the following examples:

ILLUSTRATIONS, FIGURES, AND TABLES
Each article is permitted two illustrations at no charge. Illustrative material in excess of two illustrations will be charged to the author at an additional $15.00 per illustration. The cost of all color illustrations must be borne by the author and are payable in advance. The cost of color printing is currently $900 for the first page and $600 for each additional page. Submit your figures as black-and-white images unless you are willing to be responsible for the cost of publishing in color, should your manuscript be accepted. If you have only color versions of some figures, but you intend that they be published in black-and-white, you should so state in your cover letter. A pro forma invoice will be sent to the corresponding author for color charges upon acceptance of the manuscript.
All illustrations, whether line drawings or photographs, are considered figures. Identify each with the first author's name and number them consecutively, at the bottom, outside the image area. If a figure has more than one part, each part should be labeled with a 14-point, bold, letter that is not in parentheses or followed by a period. The letter designation can be upper-case or lower-case; whichever you choose, please be consistent throughout your manuscript. Wherever possible, the letter designation should be placed in or very near the upper left corner of each part.
Figure/image files should be in TIFF (.tif), Portable Document Format (.pdf), or Encapsulated Postscript (.eps) format. They should be submitted in order and labeled clearly. Grayscale and color images should be scanned at 350 dpi (dots per inch). Bitmap line art should be scanned at 1200 dpi. If a digital camera is used to capture images, the digital camera must be set to the High or Fine setting to insure the image will be high enough resolution for the printing process (.jpg submissions acceptable for high/fine digital camera files). Please consult your digital camera manual for specific instructions.
Our printer will also accept the following native application files: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Freehand. Composite panels built in Adobe Pagemaker or Quark can also be submitted provided all linked graphics and the screen and printer fonts are included. Please Note that the native application files listed above can save a file as a tif or eps. It is always preferable to do this. Please refer to your software manuals for instructions.
If you have used other software, you should scan your figures and submit them as TIFFs or EPS files at the resolutions listed above. All computer files must have the proper file extensions.
In final publication, photographs and figures will be reduced to one column width (3-?, 8.6 cm) unless the authors justify the use of additional space. Authors who wish to have any figures printed at greater than one-column width should obtain the approval of the managing editor. The magnification of photomicrographs should be stated.
Figure Legends should be collected at the end of the manuscript. Avoid lengthy legends with detailed experimental protocols. State experimental conditions pertaining to the illustrations but avoid repetition of the text. Explain all symbols and abbreviations used in the illustrations. Simple symbols such as C, D, and n should be used. The use of error bars on the data points is recommended. Figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals.
If possible, please use bulleted or numbered lists within the text instead of tables. If tables are required, they should carry short titles and should be intelligible without reference to the text.
CELL LINE AND REAGENT DATA
The source of cells utilized, species, sex, strain, race, age of donor, and whether primary or established should be clearly indicated. The name, city, and state or country of the source of reagents should be stated within parentheses when first cited. Specific tests used for verification of cell lines and novel reagents should be identified. Specific tests for the presence of mycoplasmal contamination of cell lines are recommended. If these tests were not performed, this fact should be clearly stated. Other data relating to unique biological, biochemical, and/or immunological markers should also be included if available. Publication of results in In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology is based on the principle that results must be verifiable. Authors are expected to make unique reagents available to qualified investigators. Authors deriving or using cell lines are encouraged to follow the UKCCCR Guidelines for the Use of Cell Lines in Cancer Research in respect to validation of identity and infection-free cultures.
