title: Correlation between unscheduled DNA synthesis and chromosome condensation in mitoses from human lymphocytes.
abstract: The correlation between chromosome condensation and amount of repair synthesis after UV irradiation was studied in PHA-stimulated human lymphocytes. The length of selected chromosomes and the number of autoradiographic grains were determined in cells from late prophase to middle metaphase. The statistical analysis of data indicates a highly significant correlation between the two variables and a positive linear regression of the number of grains on chromosome length.
