Abstract
THE DNA metabolism of normal human blood cells has recently been investigated at chromosome-level by means of an autoradiographic technique and 2–4 day in vitro culture of peripheral leucocytes1–3. The application of this type of investigation to the study of human leukaemia cells was prompted by recent reports of abnormal chromosome number and/or shape in these cells4–6.
