Fluorescence polarization and pulse width analysis of chromosomes by a flow system. [Hamsters]

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

Isolated Chinese hamster chromosomes have been analyzed using a multiparameter computer-controlled cell sorter (MACCS) to obtain information about unique properties of individual chromosomes. Parameters other than DNA content were sought that would further aid in distinguishing among chromosomes. The polarized emission of Hoechst 33342 was measured for each class of chromosomes identified by a distinct peak. The emission anisotropy values for every chromosome class was a constant (EA = 0.30) with chromosome size and DNA content. Pulse width was found to be a good parameter for resolving chromosomes, presumably according to arm length.
