Abstract:To analyze radiation-induced chromosomal aberrations in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes, a modified protocol for replication banding in combination with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using whole-chromosome-specific DNA probes was examined. The aim of the major modification of the experimental procedure was to efficiently generate clear and consistent replication bands along metaphase chromosomes in the first division of lymphocytes after culture initiation. This technique enabled the ma… Show more
