  • Title: [Statistical patterns of the anomalous staining of 5-bromodeoxyuridine-substituted chromosomes].
    Author: Antoshchina MM, Luchnik NV.
    Journal: Tsitologiia; 1986 Apr; 28(4):443-5. PubMed ID: 3715977.
    Abstract:
    Five large chromosome segments showing sometimes an abnormal staining were found in the genome of Chinese hamster (clone 237). Three types of abnormal staining were recorded. After one round of replication in the presence of BrdUrd these segments showed a hetero-staining, whereas after two rounds of replication the same segments showed iso-dark or iso-light staining. Pulse labeling with 3H-thymidine showed that all these segments were the late-replicating ones. The labeling proceeded according to all-or-none principle; in a given cell all five segments showed either presence or absence of the label. On the contrary, the abnormal staining was statistically distributed among these segments. These results are in disagreement with the current view that the abnormal staining is associated with asymmetrical distribution of thymine among two strands of DNA duplex. The above regularities are considered as an argument for the two-stranded model of chromosome.
