Abstract
A BrdU-Hoechst 33258 treatment of living cells, which selectively induced condensation-inhibition of G-band chromatin in human and Chinese hamster chromosomes, is presented. As a consequence mitotic chromosomes showed high resolution R-banding patterns when examined by light and electron microscopy. Besides each whole chromosome identification, this procedure also permitted the electron microscopic study of specific structures, such as satellites, secondary constrictions, telomeres, centromeres, as well as G and R bands, some of them no visible by light microscopy. We have also observed that the chromatin of G and R bands behave as blocks of chromatin condensation and that G-band chromatin develops condensation along G2. Under the BrdU-Hoechst 33258 treatment, chromatin fibers seem to invert their spontaneous pattern of condensation within the chromosomes.
