    Notes: Abstract The cytochemical properties of metaphase chromosomes from Chinese hamster and human cells were studied by flow cytometry. This technique allows precise quantitation of the fluorescence properties of individual stained chromosome types. Chromosomes were stained with the following fluorescent DNA stains: Hoechst 33258, DAPI, chromomycin A3, ethidium bromide, and propidium iodide. The relative fluorescence of individual chromosome types varied depending on the stain used, demonstrating that individual chromosome types differ in chemical properties. Flow measurements were performed as a function of stain and chromosome concentration to characterize the number and distribution of stain binding sites. Flow analysis of double stained chromosomes show that bound stains interact by energy transfer with little or no binding competition. For most hamster chromosomes, there is a strong correlation between relative fluorescence and stain base preference suggesting that staining differences may be determined primarily by differences in average base composition. A few hamster chromosome types exhibit anomalous staining which suggests that some other property, such as repetitive DNA sequences, also may be an important determinant of chromosomal staining.

    Notes: Abstract Isolated mammalian chromosomes have been quantitatively classified by high resolution flow cytometry. Chinese hamster chromosomes stained with 33258 Hoechst and excited in the UV showed a fluorescence distribution in which the 14 types of Chinese hamster chromosomes were resolved into 16 groups seen as distinct peaks in the distributions. Chinese hamster chromosomes were also stained with both 33258 Hoechst (HO) and chromomycin A3 (CA3); the two dye contents were measured by selective excitation in the UV and at 458 nm in a dual beam flow cytometer. The resulting two parameter distribution (HO versus CA3) showed 10 chromosome groups1. Human strain LLL 761 chromosomes stained with HO and excited in the UV showed a fluorescence distribution in which the 23 types of human chromosomes were resolved into 12 groups. Human chromosomes stained with both HO and CA3 and measured in the dual beam flow cytometer produced two parameter fluorescence distributions which showed 20 groups. The chromosomes associated with each group were determined by quinacrine banding analysis of sorted chromosomes and by DNA cytophotometry of preidentified metaphase chromosomes. The relative HO and CA3 stain content and frequency of occurrence of chromosomes in each group were determined from the fluorescence distributions and compared to the results from DNA cytophotometry. The chromosome to chromosome variations in HO and CA3 staining are attributed to variations in chromosomal base composition.

    Notes: Summary Forty-five patients suffering from a major depression were administered zimeldine, amitriptyline or placebo (15 patients in each group) in a double-blind controlled study. In the zimeldine group, seven of the 14 patients treated for more than one week presented a toxic syndrome consisting in a severe prostration, fever, myalgias and arthralgias. In all patients presenting this syndrome, laboratory analyses revealed an elevation of alkaline phosphatase and of aspartate and alanine aminotransferases and a decrease in white blood cell and platelet counts. Three patients presented a mild proteinuria and hematuria. Although an immunological mechanism cannot be ruled out, several characteristics of this reaction suggest the formation of a metabolite of zimeldine with direct cellular toxicity. The relatively high starting dose of 200 mg/day of zimeldine administered in the present study and the increment to 300 mg/day after only seven days might have contributed to the high incidence of toxic reactions observed.

    Notes: Summary An assay method is described for determining the frequency of human erythrocytes having a gene expression loss phenotype at the glycophorin A locus presumably due to in vivo somatic mutational events in erythroid precursor cells. Monoclonal antibodies specific for the M and N glycophorin A alleles are used to identify variant cells that lack the expression of one allele in blood samples from MN heterozygotes. Flow cytometry and sorting are used to enumerate and purify variant cells. Using three different antibody combinations which are sensitive to the loss of either the M or the N allele, we find that variant cells occur at a frequency of 1x10-5 in normal donors. We also detect variant cells with an apparent homozygous phenotype suggesting that events leading to homozygosity may occur at similar frequencies to gene loss events. Significant increases in variant cell frequency are observed in cancer patients after exposure to mutagenic chemotherapy drugs.
