F. Richard et B. Dutrillaux, SIMULTANEOUS OBTENTION OF AN INTENSE G-BANDING AND CHROMOSOME PAINTING, Cytogenetics and cell genetics, 74(1-2), 1996, pp. 124-126
A method for simultaneously obtaining brilliant G-banding and chromoso
me painting is described, It is based on a modification of methods ena
bling the detection of incorporated BrdU by anti-BrdU antibodies conju
gated to a fluorochrome, It induces a banding of both painted and non-
painted chromosomes. The method was adapted for in situ hybridizations
on human and non human (ZOO-FISH) chromosomes.
