Abstract

Suspensions of testicular cells from rats, mice and humans have been subjected to flow cytometry (FCM) after staining with the fluorochromes ethidium bromide and mitramycin. The resulting DNA distribution patterns give valuable information about the relative quantities of cells with haploid, S‐phase, diploid and tetraploid DNA content in the testis.In the present study we show some examples of how FCM can be used to monitor meiosis, and to get a quantitative assessment of spermatogenesis in animals and humans.
