Counting Xi's and X's in control and triploid fibroblasts. A. XIST RNA FISH was used to determine Xi content in cells. In this example, two cells from an early passage of 75-29 XXX triploid fibroblasts are shown, one with a single XIST RNA body, and the other with two (arrows). B. X chromosome content was determined using FISH to X-linked alpha centromeric DNA (CEP X probe). In this example, cells from a clone of 75-29 (F10) all show three X-centromere signals.
