Summary Metaphase chromosomes isolated from human fibroblasts by lysis of mitotic cells in the presence of the intercalating DNA-specific fluorochrome propidium iodide appear relatively long, even after exposure to vinblastine sulfate overnight. Therefore, they can be easily banded and thereby unequivocally identified. Chromosomes isolated in this way may be employed in flow analysis and sorting without loosing the inducibility of their band patterns. 相似文献

A method is proposed for observation of the interaction between charged macromolecules such as proteins. The method is based on the fact that the pK of an ionizable reporter group attached to a macromolecule can be altered by the electrostatic effect of another charged macromolecule which associates with the former. The effectiveness of the method was shown in the study of the association of bovine serum albumin with hen egg lysozyme [EC 3.2.1.17]. The errors inherent in this method in obtaining the equilibrium constant of the association reaction and procedures for their correction are discussed. 相似文献

After the seminiferous tubules were minced and washed with phosphate-buffered saline to remove sperms, spermatids and spermatocytes (Hoo and Bowles, 1971), they were repeatedly treated with 0.1% trypsin solution to liberate spermatogonia. It was concluded that the spermatogonial chromosomes can be analysed much more easily and accurately by this procedure than by previous ones. 相似文献

A new method for decomposing flow cytometry histograms of isolated human metaphase chromosomes is described and tested. The method is based on fitting a template, composed of the means of all chromosomes of a normal karyotype to the flow histogram. The utility of the method is demonstrated by application to flow measurements of chromosomes from a normal person and comparing the results with those obtained by conventional cytophotometry. The power of the method for detecting gross chromosomal abnormalities, such as trisomy 21, as well as more subtle variations such as a single translocation, is determined for simulated data. 相似文献

The heteromorphisms of C-band regions of human chromosomes are evaluated by means of restriction endonucleases AluI, DdeI, MboI, and RsaI. Every chromosome exhibits heteromorphic markers of the C-band regions except chromosome 8. Each enzyme was found to be highly characteristic in its staining profile, a result that clearly suggests the diversity of heterochromatin. The inherent C-band-region heterochromatin variability that is revealed by these enzymes provides a valuable tool in identifying markers as compared with other previously described techniques. 相似文献

A detailed technique is described for obtaining preparations of the chromosome complements of human sperm by fertilization of hamster eggs and analysis of the male pronucleus. Some of the more difficult aspects and important steps are emphasized. Technical data from 17 consecutive experiments are presented to provide an estimate of the number of karyotypes which can be obtained in an experiment. 相似文献

The genetically inactive, late-replicating human female X chromosome can be effectively distinguished from its more active, earlier-replicating homologue, when cells are grown according to the appropriate BrdU-33258 Hoechst protocol. Results obtained from a fluorescence analysis of DNA replication in X chromosomes are consistent with those from previous autoradiographic studies, but reflect additional sensitivity and resolution offered by the BrdU-Hoechst methodology. Both qualitative and quantitative differences in 33258 Hoechst fluorescence intensity, reflecting alterations in replication kinetics, can be detected between the two X chromosomes in female cells. The pattern of replication in the single X chromosome in male cells is indistinguishable from that of the early female X. Intercellular fluctuations in the distribution of regions replicating early or late in S phase, particularly with reference to the late female X, can be localized to structural bands, suggesting multifocal control of DNA synthesis in X chromosomes. 相似文献

A method for linking any standard yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC) is described. YACs are introduced into the same cell and joined by mitotic recombination between the vector arms and the homologous sequence in a linking vector; several YACs can be recombined sequentially. The linking vectors also contain the beta-galactosidase gene as an expression reporter in mammalian cells. 相似文献

A method for generating hybrids containing nonselected fragments of human chromosomes 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
We have used an irradiation and fusion technique to generate somatic cell hybrids that contain human chromosomal fragments. As a model system, a human-hamster hybrid containing a single human X chromosome was gamma-irradiated and fused with a rodent line. Hybrids were obtained without imposing direct selection for human material. Analysis of 29 clones by in situ hybridization and Southern blotting revealed that human fragments were incorporated into the hybrid cell genomes in most lines. Like chromosome-mediated gene transfer (CMGT)-generated hybrids, these hybrids contained multiple human fragments and retained alphoid centromeric sequences with a high frequency. However, unlike the CMGT, human fragments (apart from alphoid sequences) of less than 10(7) bp showed no evidence for rearrangements. This technique provides a method for constructing hybrids that contain a limited number of small human fragments derived exclusively from any chromosome of choice without the need to impose selection. Such hybrids provide a valuable resource for high-resolution mapping over short distances and for the isolation of disease and other loci mapped genetically. 相似文献

A technique is described by which unstained metaphases may be observed using phase contrast microscopy. The cells are fixed on a cover slip which then is turned over and onto a slide, leaving a thin air layer sandwiched between. Observation in phase contrast shows metaphases comparable to those observed after Giemsa staining. 相似文献

A new method for the preparation of metaphase chromosomes for flow analysis has been evaluated. It has been shown that this method, which involves detergent lysis of metaphase cells and polyamines to stabilize the DNA, yields lower coefficients of variation and background levels in the DNA histograms than is currently obtained by hexylene glycol based methods. A conventional flow cytometer (FACS-II) has been used to resolve the human karyotype into about 14 peaks after ethidium bromide staining and excitation with a relatively low level of illumination (0.4 W at 488 nm). Flow karyotypes have also been obtained from suspension cell lines, in particular from the mouse cell line, Friend 707/B10. The only disadvantage of this method is that the chromosomes are highly condensed and therefore banding studies on sorted chromosomes may not be possible. 相似文献

Telomere associations were studied in metaphase chromosomes from 96-h cultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes of two healthy women, treated with 0.4 microM aphidicolin for the last 72 h. Telomere associations were encountered in 2.9% and 3.2% of the metaphases screened, whereas no such associations were encountered in 5-fluorodeoxyuridine-treated cultures. The chromosome arms involved in telomere associations were nonrandom: 1q, 2q, 3q, 6p and 16q were more frequently involved in the associations (P less than 0.01). Of the 51 combinations of telomere associations encountered, those occurring nonrandomly were 1q/2q, 2q/2q, 4q/4q, 6q/6q and 6p/6p associations. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to use DNA transfection and microcell chromosome transfer techniques to engineer a human chromosome containing multiple biochemical markers for which selectable growth conditions exist. The starting chromosome was a t(X;3)(3pter----3p12::Xq26----Xpter) chromosome from a reciprocal translocation in the normal human fibroblast cell line GM0439. This chromosome was transferred to a HPRT (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase)-deficient mouse A9 cell line by microcell fusion and selected under growth conditions (HAT medium) for the HPRT gene on the human t(X;3) chromosome. A resultant HAT-resistant cell line (A9(GM0439)-1) contained a single human t(X;3) chromosome. In order to introduce a second selectable genetic marker to the t(X;3) chromosome, A9(GM0439)-1 cells were transfected with pcDneo plasmid DNA. Colonies resistant to both G418 and HAT medium (G418r/HATr) were selected. To obtain A9 cells that contained a t(X;3) chromosome with an integrated neo gene, the microcell transfer step was repeated and doubly resistant cells were selected. G418r/HATr colonies arose at a frequently of 0.09 to 0.23 x 10(-6) per recipient cell. Of seven primary microcell hybrid clones, four yielded G418r/HATr clones at a detectable frequency (0.09 to 3.4 x 10(-6)) after a second round of microcell transfer. Doubly resistant cells were not observed after microcell chromosome transfers from three clones, presumably because the markers were on different chromosomes. The secondary G418r/HATr microcell hybrids contained at least one copy of the human t(X;3) chromosome and in situ hybridization with one of these clones confirmed the presence of a neo-tagged t(X;3) human chromosome. These results demonstrate that microcell chromosome transfer can be used to select chromosomes containing multiple markers. 相似文献
