Abstract
The present report describes a double synchronization technique that selects for first- and second-division metaphases in human lymphocyte cultures. The technique ensures high mitotic indices without elaborate handling of cultures. Combined with appropriate band induction, this technique provides a high yield of uniform metaphases with well-defined high-resolution banding.
