Determination of DNA surplus in the nuclei of some cerebellar Purkinje cells with different cytochemical methods
Abstract
Cytofluorometry and cytophotometry (Feulgen staining) as well as ultraviolet cytophotometry revealed similar histograms of DNA content in squashed nuclei of rat cerebellar Purkinje cells. More than 90% diploid (2c) cells and 1% tetraploid (4c) cells were obtained. DNA content in other Purkinje cells ranged between the 2c and 4c level.
