title: A reliable Feulgen-acriflavine-SO2 staining procedure for quantitative DNA measurements.
abstract: Feulgen-acriflavine-SO2 staining was performed on chicken erythrocytes and rat liver cells under different cytochemical conditions. The obtained results were compared to conventional Feulgen-pararosaniline-SO2 staining by means of scanning cytophotometry and microfluorometry. It was found that if acid ethanol rinsing was included in the Feulgen-acriflavine-SO2 procedure, both Feulgen procedures were fully comparable in specificity and quantitative aspects.
