Abstract
The chromosomes were counted in cells of erythroid bone marrow and spleen of anemic mice, rats and rabbits. Diploid chromosome numbers were evident in most observed cells; however in a few cells, a hypo-ploid state was observed. The G-band karyotype did not revealed a regular absence of chromosomes. This suggests that the hypoploid number is an artifact resulting from inadequate chromosome preparation. The data indicate that in the mouse, rat and rabbit, the number of erythroblast chromosomes is main-tained at diploid level through the nucleated period and is not reduced in differentiation.
期刊介绍:
Cell Structure and Function is a fully peer-reviewed, fully Open Access journal. As the official English-language journal of the Japan Society for Cell Biology, it is published continuously online and biannually in print.
Cell Structure and Function publishes important, original contributions in all areas of molecular and cell biology. The journal welcomes the submission of manuscripts on research areas such as the cell nucleus, chromosomes, and gene expression; the cytoskeleton and cell motility; cell adhesion and the extracellular matrix; cell growth, differentiation and death; signal transduction; the protein life cycle; membrane traffic; and organelles.
