A high-resolution method to assess cell multinucleation with cytoplasm-localized fluorescent probes†
Abstract
Cell multinucleation is closely related to chromosomal instability. We report a simple, convenient method to assess cell multinucleation with cytoplasm-localized fluorescent probes (CLFP) which is superior to conventional nuclear staining methods. The CLFP method provides high-resolution images that enable the accurate calculation of the number of nuclear fragments.
