Abstract

A robust method for obtaining chromosome preparations from individual haemopoietic colonies in semi-solid media is described. The accumulation of metaphases and the hypotonic treatment of cells were carried out in the culture dish and individual colonies were transferred onto poly-L-lysine-treated slides and fixed stepwise prior to staining. The technique produced high yields of well-spread metaphases facilitating clonal cytogenetic analysis.
