Flow cytometry of mitotic cells

Exp Cell Res. 1998 Feb 1;238(2):498-502. doi: 10.1006/excr.1997.3862.

Abstract

We have developed a procedure using flow cytometric measurement of a mitosis-specific antigen that may be used to count mitotic cells and sort them from non-mitotic cells. The procedure may also be used in conjunction with measurement of cellular DNA content and of bromodeoxyuridine incorporation into cellular DNA to assign cells to the G1/G0, S, G2, or M phase of the cell cycle.
