Abstract
The staining properties of AT-specific dyes Hoechst 33342 and DAPI as revealed by Hoechst 33342/mithramycin and mithramycin/DAPI bivariate human flow karyotype patterns are different for chromosomes rich in heterochromatin. The peak corresponding to chromosome Y of a given cell line is higher on the A/T axis with mithramycin/DAPI staining than with mithramycin/Hoechst. The chromosome 1 was found slightly more fluorescent in mithramycin/DAPI than in mithramycin/Hoechst as judged by the slight displacement of its area on the Hoechst-DAPI axis. The other peaks did not show major differences. On the same flow karyotypes, chromosomal rearrangements were detected.Entities:
