Incorporation of Tritiated Thymidine in the Wing and Leg Disks of Calliphora Erythrocephala Meigen

Incorporation of Tritiated Thymidine in the Wing and Leg Disks of Calliphora Erythrocephala Meigen INCORPORATION OF TRITIATED THYMIDINE IN THE WING AND LEG DISKS OF CALLIPHORA ERYTHROCEPHALA MEIGEN SHORT TERM EFFECT OF ECDYSTERONE ON DNA SYNTHESIS DURING LARVAL AND PREPUPAL DEVELOPMENT by A. J. VIJVERBERG (Zoological Laboratory, University of Leiden, The Netherlands) I. INTRODUCTION The incorporation of tritiated thymidine (3HTdR) by imaginal disk cells has been used as a parameter of DNA synthesis and consequently of cellular proliferation (cf. OBERLANDER, 1972), since the disk cells do not become polyploid or polytene (WILDERMUTH, 1968; BAUTZ, 1971; FRISTROM, 1972; VIJVERBERG, unpublished results). DNA synthesis in imaginal disk cells has been investigated by several authors (KRISHNAKUMARAN et al., 1967; WILDERMUTH, 1968; HIROSA & KaJI, 1969; L6BBECKE, 1969; OBERLANDER, 1969 a, b, 1972b; CHIN- zEI & Tojo, 1972). KRISHNAKUMARAN et al.
