Discrepancies between flow cytometric analysis and [3H]thymidine incorporation in stimulated lymphocytes. 1983

M Sasvári-Székely, and G Szabó, and M Staub, and T Spasokukotskaja, and F Antoni

The DNA synthesis system of freshly isolated tonsillar lymphocytes and those stimulated by phytohaemagglutinin were compared by different methods. Both cell populations had high DNA polymerase alpha and thymidine kinase activities, as well as a high rate of incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA. However, the two cell populations differed when their DNA distributions were compared by flow cytometry. Freshly isolated cells contained many less (6%) cells in S phase than were found in phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes (18%) as detected by flow cytometry. The labelling of different subpopulations of lymphocytes was studied by sorting them electrically with a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. Analysis of the radioactivity of [3H]thymidine pulse-labelled cells, sorted according to their DNA content, showed that cells in the G1 peak of DNA distribution had a significant amount of incorporated [3H]thymidine. Sorting of cells according to their size (i.e., by light scattering) revealed that only large cells were labelled with [3H]thymidine.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.

D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
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). DNA, Double-Stranded,Deoxyribonucleic Acid,ds-DNA,DNA, Double Stranded,Double-Stranded DNA,ds DNA
D004257 DNA Polymerase II A DNA-dependent DNA polymerase characterized in E. coli and other lower organisms. It may be present in higher organisms and has an intrinsic molecular activity only 5% of that of DNA Polymerase I. This polymerase has 3'-5' exonuclease activity, is effective only on duplex DNA with gaps or single-strand ends of less than 100 nucleotides as template, and is inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents. DNA Polymerase epsilon,DNA-Dependent DNA Polymerase II,DNA Pol II,DNA Dependent DNA Polymerase II
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.
