A tissue model for the study of cell proliferation parameters in vivo.
An intact tissue model which can be used for detailed microscopic studies, quantitative cytochemical analysis and biochemical analysis has been explored, using a number of cell proliferation parameters. The preparations consist of mesenterial "windows" from rats dispersed on object slides. A technique for determining, in one and the same preparation, DNA content and mitotic activity of individual, selected cell types, and DNA synthesis in terms of incorporation of tritiated thymidine into DNA is described.
