A growth assay using the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33258 has been developed which allows
sensitive and rapid analysis of the DNA content of a variety of cell types including
keratinocytes and mucus-secreting cells, and which requires a minimum of liquid handling.
The assay can detect as few as 500 diploid human cells, and is compatible with the
simultaneous detection of [3H] thymidine incorporation in the same cultures.
