A single lymphocyte culture for fragile X induction and prometaphase chromosome analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A single lymphocyte culture system is described which produces both reliable fragile X expression and elongated chromosomes for prometaphase analysis. This system, which is based on that described by Wheater and Roberts in 1987, involves the deoxycytidine release of a thymidine block. Eight fragile X positive subjects had an average expression level of 26%, with a range of 12% to 45%, using the thymidine/deoxycytidine protocol. This was comparable to the levels obtained in parallel cultures treated with thymidine alone or fluorodeoxyuridine.

Dose assessment of radiation victims is a key element in medical management of radiation accidents. At high radiation doses (> 6 Gy), dicentric assay lose its efficiency and premature chromosome condensation (PCC) assay was proposed to overcome the restrictions of dicentric assay. It was shown that PCC ring is more suitable and simpler than dicentric for biodosimetry in high radiation doses. In...

متن کاملAn improved lymphocyte culture technique: deoxycytidine release of a thymidine block and use of a constant humidity chamber for slide making.
The use of a thymidine block' for the induction of synchronous cell division in lymphocyte cultures is gaining in popularity in clinical cytogenetics. The excess thymidine, converted to thymidine triphosphate within the cell, inhibits the ribonucleotide reductase catalysed reduction of cytidine diphosphate to deoxycytidine diphosphate. This leads to a depleted deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate pool...
