Human epidermis, obtained in vivo by the suction blister method, was dissociated with trypsin and desoxyribonuclease into a single-cell suspension. Autoradiographic analysis of the blister roof epidermis and of the epidermal cell suspension was performed to show that neither the suction procedure nor the enzymatic dissociation affected DNA synthesis of the epidermal cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
