Freshly isolated mononuclear cells of a patient with purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) deficiency contained 7-11% cells in S-phase. During treatment with deoxycytidine and tetrahydrouridine these cells disappeared from peripheral circulation, indicating that the in vivo accumulation of S-phase cells is caused by a shortage in deoxycytidine triphosphate. In vitro it was not possible to cause a blockade in S-phase by culturing normal or PNP-deficient lymphocytes in the presence of deoxyguanosine.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
