Abstract
The rate of DNA synthesis in the S phase of growth of synchronized diploid Chinese hamster cells shows two maximums, while in heteroploid hamster cells the DNA replication rate is constant. In diploid cells a reciprocal relationship exists between maximum DNA synthetic rates and maximum lactate dyhydrogenase and thymidine kinase enzyme levels. Enzyme activity in heteroploid cells increases continuously through the cell cycle with no evidence of oscillations. It seems possible that these differences in molecular organization may accompany or precede the transition to heteroploidy.

Abstract
In studies using bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) and/or iododeoxyuridine (IdUrd) to label S phase cells in cancer patients, several unique observations were made regarding DNA replication sites and the organization of newly synthesized DNA in post-mitotic cells. While the majority of tumour specimens removed at the end of infusions demonstrated concentration of replication sites around the nuclear membrane, biopsies obtained in leukaemic patients 1 week later demonstrated several distinct patterns of labelling. For example, one, two or all lobes of granulocytes were labelled. Scavenger macrophages bearing labelled leukaemic cells in their cytoplasm were also seen. Sequential IdUrd/BrdUrd labelling of solid tumours showed various patterns of nuclear/nucleolar/membrane labelling, allowing more precise localization of early versus late replication sites.

Abstract
Pluripotent haemopoietic stem cells (CFUs) move synchronously through the cell cycle in hydroxyurea-treated mice in a cohort 1--2 hr broad. Ten to fifteen hours after hydroxyurea they pass through S phase. DNA synthesis appears to be depressed 5--10 times when the cells are in the middle part of the S phase but does not seem to be completely interrupted. High concentrations of [3H]thymidine must be used for 'suicide' in order to achieve lethality for the cells with depressed DNA synthesis. At the time when DNA synthesis is depressed, the sensitivity of the cells to hydroxyurea also decreases. This may lead to a significant underestimation of the S phase fraction by the hydroxyurea method, because CFUs with low DNA synthesis rate are resistant to hydroxyurea although being in S phase.

Abstract
Labeled thymidine administered to adult rats is incorporated at a low level into brain DNA as shown by biochemical and autoradiographic methods. This incorporation takes place in part into neuronal nuclei and nucleoli and also into glial nuclei. While incorporation into glial nuclei is interpreted to represent known glial cell proliferation, incorporation into neuronal nucleoli may be related to nucleolar DNA synthesis, which in turn is responsible for the regulation of nucleolar RNA synthesis. It could also be due to DNA repair synthesis. Assuming this latter phenomenon, our results suggest that nucleolar DNA is more sensitive than chromosomal DNA to ionizing radiations and other factors.

Abstract
The distribution of possible generation times in mammalian cells does not appear to be continous within the limits of range for each cell type; rather, generation time is quantized in multiples of 3-4 hr. Synchronous cultures of Chinese hamster V79 cells were prepared using manual and automated methods to select and stage mitotic cells. Using synchronous cultures and time-lapse video tape microscopy, it was possible to show that generation times within a population of mitotically selected cells normally disperse in a quantized fashion, with intervals of 3-4 hr occurring between bursts in division. In addition, at temperatures above 37 degrees, V79 cells have a 7.5-8.5 hr modal cell cycle, while at temperatures from 36.5 degrees to 33.5 degrees the modal cell cycle is 11-12 hr long. A survey of the synchrony literature reveals that the tendency to preferred generation times holds between cell lines. The distribution of modal generation times from a variety of different cell types forms a series with a similar interval but with a greater range of values than that observed here for V79 cells. To satisfy the published data and the work presented here, I propose a subcycle, Gq, which has a traverse time equal to the period of the clock. The period appears to be fixed at close to the same value in all mammalian somatic cells. The timekeeping mechanism appears to be temperature compensated, since the time required to traverse Gq is constant at temperatures between 34 degrees and 39 degrees. It is suggested that cell cycle time increases at lower temperatures, lower serum concentration, and high cell densitite because the number of rounds of traverse through Gq increases.

Abstract
The DNA content of lymphocytes and of basal cells from normal hairless mouse epidermis was measured by microflow fluorometry (MFF). To obtain a relatively pure suspension of epidermal basal cells a combined mechanical and enzymatic method was used. The admixture of differentiating cells into the basal cell fraction after cell separation was 13%. The results were compared with those obtained with conventional Feulgen microspectrophotometry applied to basal cells and dermal lymphocytes in histologic sections. The results from both cytophotometric methods were in good agreement and clearly demonstrated the improved resolution obtained by using microflow fluorometry. When the lymphocytes were not treated with pepsin before being stained with ethidium bromide for MFF, the modal DNA value was consistently below that of the basal cells from the same specimen. Pepsin treatment of lymphocytes, however, increased their fluorescence intensity to the value of epidermal basal cells. The modal DNA value of Feulgen-stained dermal lymphocytes in histologic sections was consistently below that of epidermal basal cells from the same section. The advantage of pepsin treatment for obtaining higher resolution of DNA measurements of basal and differentiating epidermal cells and of lymphocytes was evaluated. The cell cycle distribution of basal cells from epidermis in different states of proliferative activity was determined. Changes in the proportion of cells in S phase were parallel to changes in the 3H-Tdr labeling index.

Abstract
Mitotic Hep-2 cells, selected by the PEL (colloidal silica) density gradient method and held in mitosis with Colcemid, are readily infected by poliovirus type I (Mahoney). They produce and release the same amount of virus as interphase, random-growing cells. In contrast to interphase cells, mitotic cells show no detectable virus-induced cytopathic effect at the light microscopy level and only slight alterations, consisting of small clusters of vacuoles, at the electron microscopy level. Mitotic cells contain the same total amount of lysosomal enzymes per cell as interphase cells, but they display no redistribution of lysosomal enzymes during the virus infection as interphase cells do. This supports the view that lysosomal enzyme redistribution is associated with the cytopathic effect in poliovirus infection but shows that virus synthesis and release is not dependent on either the cytopathic effect or lysosomal enzyme release. The possible reasons for the lack of cytopathic effect in mitotic cells are discussed.

Abstract
Fine structural aspects of human tissue culture cell nucleoli were studied by cytochemical and radioautographic methods. Ribonuclease and pepsin digestions were carried out on glutaraldehyde-fixed cells that, in some instances, were labeled with thymidine-(3)H prior to digestion. Double digestion by ribonuclease and pepsin revealed a fine fibrillar reticulum that appears to be the supportive structure of nucleolonemal threads. The nature of the reticulum remains to be determined. The question of whether it may represent a dispersed form of chromatin was raised. Structural findings suggested such an hypothesis but the results of radioautographic studies do not support it. The reticulum showed a striking absence of radioactive labeling following a 3 hr incorporation of thymidine-(3)H. Only few silver grains were observed occasionally in the fibrillar nucleolonema that may or may not be significant. The radioautographic results are believed to be inconclusive for the various reasons discussed. The possibility that the reticulum is composed of proteins has to be considered. It appears that basic proteins can resist pepsin digestion in aldehyde-fixed cells. Individual chromatin fibrils were found to be associated with the nucleolar reticulum. It is possible that these alone represent the dispersed genetically active chromatin of nucleoli.

Abstract
Graphs of labeled mitoses, derived from autoradiographs of cell populations with (3)H-thymidine, show depressions in the curves at their midpoints. These depressions reflect interruption of DNA synthesis midway through S phase. Such interruptions revealed by the method of labeled mitoses should be considered when determining cell-cycle times.

Abstract
The incorporation of 5-(3)H-uridine and 5-(3)H-cytidine into nucleolar and nonnucleolar RNA in the nucleus of monkey and pig kidney cells was measured in vitro during the cell life cycle. Time-lapse cinematographic records were made of cells during asynchronous exponential proliferation, in order to identify the temporal position of individual cells in relation to the preceding mitosis. Immediately following cinematography, cells were labeled with uridine-(3)H and cytidine-(3)H for a short period, fixed, and analyzed by radioautography. Since the data permit correlation of the rate of RNA labeling with the position of a cell within the cycle, curves could be constructed describing the rate of RNA synthesis over the average cell cycle. RNA synthesis was absent in early telophase, and rose very abruptly in rate in late telophase and in very early G(1) in both the nucleus and the reconstituting nucleolus. Thereafter, through the G(1) and S periods the rate of nuclear RNA synthesis rose gradually. When we used a 10-min pulse, there was no detectable change in the rate for nucleolar RNA labeling in monkey kidney cells during G(1) or S. When we used a 30-min labeling time, the rate of nucleolar RNA labeling rose gradually in pig kidney cells. With increasing time after mitosis, the data became more variable, which may, in part, be related to the variation in generation times for individual cells.
