In this study subcellular localization of cyclin A in the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 and the human erythroleukemic K-562 cell line was examined by immunocytochemical methods. Studies were based on light and electron microscope evaluations. Cyclin A at the level of light microscope was present in 48% of the cells in HL-60 cell line and in 40% of the cells in K-562 line. Streptavidin-gold method was used for localization of cyclin A at the ultrastructural level. There was expression of cyclin A in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. In the nucleus gold particles were seen to be associated with the condensed chromatin of the both leukemia cell lines. In the cytoplasm cyclin A was concentrated at a low level and was associated with ribosomes. Controls of the leukemia cells incubated with normal mouse serum showed no labeling at the light and electron microscope level.

D002467	Cell Nucleus	Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)	Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
