[Reliability of DNA measurement after simultaneous staining of DNA and RNA by acridine-orange for flow-cytophotometry (author's transl)]. 1981

R Zittoun, and L Pochat, and M Mathieu, and R Pochat

The reliability of DNA cell content measurement by flow cytophotometry was assessed after simultaneous staining of DNA and RNA by acridine-orange. The methods of staining allowing the lowest CV were determined. The specificity of this staining for DNA appeared satisfactory. When the distribution in the various phases of the cell cycle was computerized, a good correlation was found for the S phase with the 3H-thymidine labeling index. The interest of this method for prognosis and monitoring of acute leukemia is underlined.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D012313 RNA A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
