Abstract
To obtain chromosome preparations from in vitro cultures of human peripheral blood is now a routine laboratory procedure. Baker and Atkins1 and Bain and Gauld2 have extended this technique to human foetal and infant spleen and adult lymph nodes. The present communication describes the further extension of this method, to demonstrate the chromosomes of adult human spleen cells following culture in vitro.
