title: Primed in situ labeling (PRINS): a method for rapid identification and quantification of human chromosomes in both lymphocytes and sperm nuclei.
abstract: In this work, a specific primer for X alphoid satellite DNA was used to detect chromosome X through primed in situ labeling (PRINS). The method allows the rapid identification of chromosome X in metaphase and its quantification in interphase. PRINS is equally applicable to both lymphocytes and sperm nuclei.
