The R-banding pattern of the Chinese hamster Don cell line.
Chinese hamster cells (Don line) were treated in vivo with 5-BrdU and 33258-Hoechst fluorochrome for obtaining the partial inhibition of condensation that causes the R-banding pattern. Untreated chromosomes were stained by a standard G-banding method. Statistical measurements show significant differences in the band numbers between the two treatments. The Don cell line in the authors' laboratory presents some karyotypical differences from Don cell lines studied by other authors.
