  • Title: Synaptonemal complexes as indicators of induced structural change in chromosomes after irradiation of spermatogonia.
    Author: Cawood AH, Breckon G.
    Journal: Mutat Res; 1983 Nov; 122(2):149-54. PubMed ID: 6656805.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of multivalent formation has been compared in primary spermatocytes at pachytene, using synaptonemal complex preparations and at diakinesis/metaphase, using air-dried preparations, from testes of Syrian hamsters several weeks after exposure to an acute dose of X-rays. The pachytene preparations revealed nearly twice the number of multivalents found at diakinesis/metaphase I, and showed the ability to reveal types of structural alteration undetectable in conventional air-dried techniques.
