Abstract:
It is necessary to determine the position of break points in order to study the structure rearrangement of chromosomes and gene mapping. Therefore it is indispensable to set up region, banded idiogram and nomenclature system. Nesbitt and Franke reported an idiogram and a nomenclature system for band patterns of mouse chromosomes which thereafter was accepted by the Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclture. Nevertheless, there are few data of systematical contrast studies in this domain. There are still difficulties for distinguishing between some chromosomes because they are similar and variability. In this paper, we compared our G-banding karyotypes with the banding patterns of Nesbitt's idiogram. Our 400 karyotypes come from bone marrow cells and fibroblasts of several normal inbred and outbred mice. Each banding obtained from each well banded chromosomes of different cells were contrasted to that of Nesbitt's idiogram. The results are as follows: 1. we have not found so many bands in one metaphase chromosome banded with trypsin-Giemsa technique as reported by Nesbitt. 2. The banding numbers and positions on each well banding chromosome picked out from different metaphase plates were consistent with those of Nesbitt's idiogrom. But some bands such as 1E1 and 1E2; 2E5-2F5; 4A3-4A5; 5C1-5C3 can't usually be distinguished in our data. 3. We observed that the major banding structure of each karyotype remains stability, but the minor banding structure appears to be variablitity in inbred mice. In addition, 6 variant pictures and region idiograms in the G-banding structure of each chromosome were showed and some notices for correct analysis of mouse karyotype were discussed.
