It is characterized by reduced proliferation of the culture, abnormal mitotic figures, detachment of cells from the culture substrate, and the formation of multinucleated or giant cells.

This process was first described in human cells following infection with an oncogenic virus (SV40). See also "cell line", "in vitro transformation" and "in vitro senescence".
