Abstract

The addition of thymidine (TdR) to cells growing in a medium containing 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) at the end of the first replication cycle results in the incorporation of TdR into the late replicating DNA regions. These sites can be visualized by staining the metaphase chromosomes with the fluorescent dye "33258 Hoechst" or a "33258 Hoechst" Giemsa procedure. A sequence of late replication patterns has been established in metaphase chromosomes of cultured human peripheral lymphocytes. The patterns are in agreement with those obtained by the standard autoradiographic procedures, but are more accurate. As is known from autoradiography, late replicating bands are in the position of G or Q bands. The "33258 Hoechst" Giemsa staining procedure of chromosomes which have replicated in the presence of BUdR first and in TdR for the last 2 hrs of the S phase is preferable to the currently used Giemsa banding techniques: the method yields very well banded metaphases in all preparations examined, as the chromosome structure is not disrupted by the pretreatment. The bands are very distinct, even in the "difficult" chromosomes (e.g. No. 4, 5, 8 and X). In female cells the late replicating X chromosome can be identified by its size and stain...Continue Reading

Anthelmintics

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
