| Some fields may show binucleate cartilage cells, indicating a process of amitotic division, but most are monocellular and mononucleate. After incubation with BDS extracts in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), normal human bronchial epithelial cells, which are putative target cells for inhaled irritants, exhibited plasma membrane blebbing, small but statistically significant increases in the number of binucleate cells, and a diffuse cytoplasmic fluorescence when viewed under the light microscope (Catallo et al. After fixation for 8 min in a 20:1 (vol/vol) mixture of methanol and acetic acid, the cells were stained for 10 min with 5% (vol/vol) Giemsa solution, and then the number of MN was scored in 1,000 binucleate cells; under the conditions used, the frequency of binucleate cells was 500-600 per 1,000 cells. |
