The nuclear DNA content of vulvar skin using Feulgen microspectrophotometry and "four-quarter" analysis.
The nuclear DNA contents in subbasal (nonreplicating) cells of 161 vulvar biopsies from 31 patients were studied by Feulgen staining, integrated scanning microspectrophotometry (densitometry) and subsequent "four-quarter" analysis of the measurements. The results showed a constancy of the nuclear DNA content in the nonreplicating cells, regardless of the patient or the biopsy site.
