Abstract excerpt
Nuclear chromatin properties in control, SV40-infected and polyoma-infected cultures of mouse embryo fibroblasts were studied using quantitative image analysis. Distribution of Feulgen-DNA-content per nucleus was found to be similar in all three groups of cultures. No differences in nuclear area, mean optical density of chromatin and area of chromatin at different optical density thresholds were measurable...
