Disappearance of Tritiated Thymidine and Tritiated Water from the Anterior Chamber of the Rabbit Eye

Nature volume 196, pages 786–787 (1962)Cite this article

Abstract

TRITIUM-LABELLED thymidine (3Hth), a DNA precursor, has been widely used for examining cells which have recently received stimulation for reduplication. The 3Hth, which can be localized at the cellular level by means of autoradiography, is reputedly incorporated almost exclusively by cells which are undergoing chromosome duplication in preparation for cell division1.
