Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneity in Telomere Length of Human Chromosomes

TL;DR: Telomere fluorescence intensity values from metaphase chromosomes of cultured human hematopoietic cells decreased with the replication history of the cells, varied up to six-fold within a metaphase, and were similar between sister chromatid telomeres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photobleaching kinetics of fluorescein in quantitative fluorescence microscopy

TL;DR: Both the theoretical simulation and experimental data show that photobleaching of fluorescein in microscopy is, in general, not a single-exponential process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Telomeres in the mouse have large inter-chromosomal variations in the number of T2AG3 repeats

TL;DR: It is estimated that the shortest telomeres are around 10 kb in length, indicating that each mouse cell has a few telomerres with (T2AG3)n lengths within the range of human telomere lengths, which may be critical in limiting the replicative potential of murine cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of the triplet excited state on the photobleaching kinetics of fluorescein in microscopy

TL;DR: Experiments demonstrated that a thiol-containing reducing agent, mercaptoethylamine (MEA or cysteamine), was the most effective, among other commonly known radical quenchers or singlet oxygen scavengers, in suppressing photobleaching of fluorescein while not reducing the fluorescence quantum yield.
