Chromosome replication was studied without synchronization in human lymphocyte and amniotic cell cultures visualizing very short 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) pulses by an immunologic technique (BAT). The findings agree in general with those facts known from earlier BrdU staining techniques. The very high sensitivity of BAT was shown to allow the detection of replication in a band where 1 in 200 nucleotides is replaced by BrdU. The main observations are: though the replication patterns after BAT appear strange the bands correspond to those described by the Paris Conference (1971). At the beginning of the S-phase a stepwise onset of replication in only a subset of R-bands is confirmed. There is a considerable difference in the sensitivity between early and late S (S and S) for the detection of BrdU pulses. This difference probably reflects a different spatial arrangement of chromatin in R-bands as compared with G-bands below the level of cytogenetic analysis. The use of short pulses did not reveal any additional subdivision of S or S. The correspondence between chromosomal bands and replicon clusters is discussed briefly with respect to the different time they need for replication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
