چکیده

AF8 cells were collected by mitotic detachment or made quiescent by serum restriction. Replated mitotic cells or serum-stimulated quiescent cells were then compared by flow cytofluorometry, when the use of acridine orange staining. Red fluorescence intensity (F greater than 600) was the same in quiescent cells and in cells immediately after mitosis. However, F greater than 600 increased very rapidly in postmitotic cells, while there was a delay in serum-stimulated quiescent cells. F greater than 600 reached a peak at 4 hr in postmitotic cells and between 16 and 19 hr in serum-stimulated quiescent cells. A similar delay in the time of entry into S phase occurred after serum stimulation of resting cell populations. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that cells after mitosis may enter a state that is different from the state of cells made quiescent by serum restriction.

Lymphocyte stimulation: a rapid multiparameter analysis.

Several parameters of stimulation of individual lymphocytes are measured simultaneously by flow-cytofluorometry after differential staining of cellular DNA and RNA with the metachromatic fluorescent dye acridine orange. The method provides a means of analyzing the progression of stimulated cells through the cell cycle (G1, S and G2 + M), in addition to measuring the accumulation of RNA per cell...

Gnidilatimonoein from Daphne mucronata induced differentiation and apoptosis in leukemia cell lines

Among various treatments, plants play a crucial role in cancer chemotherapy. Base on literature data, different species of the thymeleaeceae family have been found to be good sources for anticancer agents. Therefore, our laboratory has initiated a research project on evaluating the anticancer properties of the Iranian medical plant, Daphne mucronata (Thymeleaeceae). Gnidilatimonoein is a new di...

Regrowth and radiation sensitivity of quiescent cells isolated from EMT6/Ro-fed plateau monolayers.

A quiescent [denoted as Q(G0/G1)] subpopulation was isolated from EMT6/Ro-fed plateau monolayers by centrifugal elutriation. The median Coulter volume of these cells was significantly smaller than that of the original population from which they were elutriated. Using two-step acridine orange staining and dual parameter flow cytometric analysis, over 95% of quiescent cells were found to have G1 ...
