Abstract
The expression of nucleolus organizer activity in diploid cells was investigated in a model system for mammalian hybrids, the horse-ass cross (mule), by means of sequential Ag-NOR and chromomycin A3/distamycin A-DAPI (CDD) staining in lectin-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). As a rule we found species-specific non-expression of the horse-derived NOR chromosomes in the mule, whereas the ass-derived NOR chromosomes were active. The results of PBL interphase studies were compatible with the data gained from mitotic metaphase analyses.
