    This study introduces a novel hypotonic treatment for lymphocyte chromosome analysis. The method enhances the yield of mitotic figures, improving high-resolution karyotyping.

    Area of Science:

    • Cytogenetics
    • Cell Biology
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • High-resolution chromosome analysis is crucial for detecting genetic abnormalities.
    • Traditional methods can be limited by the availability of suitable mitotic figures.
    • Improving chromosome preparation techniques is essential for advancing cytogenetic diagnostics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an optimized hypotonic treatment for lymphocyte culture.
    • To enhance the yield of mitotic cells in prophase and prometaphase for detailed chromosome analysis.
    • To improve the quality of chromosome banding for high-resolution karyotyping.

    Main Methods:

    • Lymphocytes were stimulated with Phytohemagglutinin (PHA).
    • Cells were treated with a hypotonic solution (0.075 M 2-Mercaptoethanol and 0.075 M KCl).

  • Colcemid was added, followed by fixation, washing, and trypsin-Giemsa banding.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified hypotonic treatment significantly increased the percentage of mitotic figures.
    • A high proportion of cells were observed in prophase and prometaphase stages.
    • The trypsin-Giemsa banding technique provided excellent chromosome morphology for analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • This optimized hypotonic solution and preparation method is highly effective for high-resolution chromosome analysis.
    • The technique facilitates detailed examination of chromosome structure, aiding in the identification of subtle genetic changes.
    • This method offers a valuable tool for research and clinical cytogenetics.
