Autoradiographic Investigation of Incorporation of H 3 -Thymidine into Cells of the Rat and Mouse

Abstract: The application of H(3)-thymidine results in labeling of those nuclei of cells in which deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is synthesized during the interval between application and the sacrifice of tne animal (1-3). This paper reports autoradiographic investigation with H(3)-thymidine of rats and mice. This method permits a more exact statement of the number of dividing cells than does the microscopic estimate of mitosis. The latter method is practically impossible in tissues with small fusiform cells. Moreover, it … Show more

“…Conventional proliferation assays are based on the measurement of DNA synthesis by the incorporation of labeled nucleosides. The incorporation of radioactively labeled [ 3 H]thymidine into DNA has been the most common and earliest developed measure of mitosis and cell proliferation (1). A nonradioactive proliferation assay based on the incorporation of the pyrimidine nucleoside analogue BrdU 2 instead of thymidine during DNA synthesis and its subsequent immunohistochemical detection was later developed (2,3).…”

“…By the use of the mitotic indices obtained at the various intervals of time, the cycle of the islet cells can be estimated roughly, by the methods of Schultze and Oehlert 36 and Wimber. 37 The mean nuclear cycle of the islet in the normal, untreated mice is about 10.6 hrs., the time for DNA synthesis about 5.8 hrs., and the time for mitosis 0.4 hrs., or 24 min.…”

“…In autoradiographic studies of the gas trointestinal tract, smooth muscle is usually ignored or is the subject of only few com ments [9,23,[25][26][27], The muscularis ex terna can be classified as a slowly renewing population. In adult rabbit more than 0.3% of the cells of the colonic muscularis externa were heavily labeled 2 h after a multipledose pulse [10].…”
