The cellular cycle (cc) span was measured by using differential sister-chromatid staining (DSCS) and applying the following methods: cellular cycle time (cct) according to the graphic method of Dutrillaux and Fosse (G-cct); the analytical equation (A-cct) proposed in the present paper, and the average generation time (AGT) suggested by Ivett and Tice. The mean values obtained by the three methods were 12.5, 12.7, and 19.5 h, respectively. A-cct is the more precise method, since the equation of the analytical procedure allows the utilization of numerical data, and when the graphical method is used, the values plotted in a graph may vary according to the employed scale. Cct is the choice over AGT because the first evaluates actively dividing cells and only considers those at M2 or M3. It will be useful to study cell proliferation kinetics in genetic pathological conditions and to investigate with accuracy the effect of cytostatic and cytotoxic drugs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
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
D008297 Male Males
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.

D001973 Bromodeoxyuridine A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.

D002453 Cell Cycle The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.
