| kinetoplast dna in trypanosoma equinum. | identification and characterization of kdna is described in the naturally occurring totally dyskinetoplastic species trypanosoma equinum. fluorescence microscopy of live cells, using the highly sensitive and specific probe dapi (4,6-diamidino-2-phenyl-indole), showed the presence of a diversity of extranuclear fluorescent bodies scattered along the length of the organism. transmission electron microscopic studies revealed a close similarity between the distribution of these dapi-fluorescing part ... | 1981 | 7277256 |
