title: Differential silver carbonate staining of sister chromatids in BrdU-substituted chromsomes.
abstract: Differential staining of sister chromatids in BrdU-substituted human chromosomes is demonstrated by an ammoniacal silver carbonate procedure. With this method the chromosomes exhibit a subchromatid structure. Because proteolytic treatment indicated that the silver carbonate binds the chromosome proteins, changes of these components may be inferred in the BrdU-substituted chromosomes. Sister chromatid exchanges could be identified.
