Infrared spectra of cervical tissue, obtained by biopsy from the squamouscolumnar junction, are reported. The spectral patterns observed for columnar tissue are quite different from those of squamous epithelium. Subsequently, the spectra observed for columnar cells in tissue samples were also detect

β¦ Synopsis
Infrared spectral results for the different epithelial layers of human cervical squamous tissue are reported. The layers, representing different cellular maturation stages, exhibit quite different spectral patterns. Thus, infrared spectroscopy presents a powerful tool to monitor cell maturation and differentiation. Furthermore, a detailed understanding of the spectra of the individual layers of tissue permit a proper interpretation of the state of health of cells exfoliated from such tissue. Part II of this series describes the use of the spectral information presented here to interpret the infrared spectra of exfoliated cells.

Infrared spectra of myeloid leukemia (ML-1) cells are reported for cells derived from an asynchronous, exponentially growing culture, as well as for cells that were fractionated according to their stage within the cell division cycle. The observed results suggest that the cells' DNA is detectable by
A comparison of infrared absorption spectra obtained from the different layers of squamous epithelium from the human cervix, and infrared spectra obtained from exfoliated cervical cells, is presented. Infrared spectroscopy has been shown (in part I of this series) to be a sensitive tool to monitor m
The objective of this study was to determine whether microsatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) are involved in the immortalization of human breast epithelial cells (HBECs) in vitro and in the early stages of their transformation by benzo[a]pyrene (BP) and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]
