โฆ Synopsis
A simplified method is described to demonstrate Y chromosome fluorescence in interphase nuclei of epithelial cells in human buccal smears using Quinacrine Mustard. This technique turned out to be efficient in our hands and would be of value in determining the sex chromosomes in the epithelial cells of the skin in cases of allogeneic transplantations from females to males and vice versa to determine the peroid during which the grafts survived.
