Ploidy and progesterone-receptor distribution in flow-sorted deciduomal nuclei.
Nuclei from rat uterine deciduomata were analysed and sorted into different ploidy classes in a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. The highest proportion of 8 n and 16 n nuclei was observed on days 6-7 after decidualization. At this time the progesterone receptor content per unit DNA of the octaploid nuclei was less than half that of the diploid nuclei.
