A Comparison of Straight-Stained, Q-stained, and Reverse Flourescent-Stained Cell Lines for Detection of Fragile Sites on the Human X Chromosome
Description:
Cell cultures were examined for percentage of fragile sites seen in straight-stained, Q-stained and reverse fluorescent-stained preparations. In all cases, percentage of fragile site expression was decreased when compared to straight-stained preparations. However, fragile sites seen in Q- and RF-stain could be identified as on X chromosomes.
