Epidermal cell kinetics in the nude mouse.
The epidermal cell kinetics in nude mice is investigated by determining the mitotic rate and the mitotic count, the H3Tdr labelling index, and the proportion of basal cells in the different cell cycle phases by flow cytometry. The mitotic duration was calculated. The parameter values of the epidermal cell kinetics of the nude mouse are largely similar to those of the hairless mouse.
