title: Removal of stainable cytoplasmic substances from cytogenetic slide preparations.
abstract: A method to remove stainable cytoplasmic substances from cytogenetic preparation using RNase A treatment is reported. The preparations processed with this method are especially useful for the automated analysis of micronuclei of cultured cells with cytochalasin B and of chromosome aberrations induced by radiation.
