False DNA aneuploidy in canine and human neoplasms
Abstract
In most cases, the appearance of aneuploid peaks in DNA histograms may be an artefact of tissue preparation or it may reflect non-stoichiometric dye binding of a cellular subpopulation rather than true DNA aneuploidy. This report reviews how false DNA aneuploidy can be recognized and eliminated from sample submitted for DNA flow cytometric analysis.
