title: Effect of actinomycin-D on the staining of whole cells with acridine orange.
abstract: Flow cytofluorometric techniques have been used to investigate the interference of actinomycin-D with the staining of acridine orange in whole cells. The results show that reduction in fluorescence intensity will only occur at actinomycin-D concentrations greater than 10(3) ng/ml in our system, providing the drug is washed out prior to staining.
