Fluorescent Labels Used in Experiment in Fig. 2
Fluorescent label . | Target in cell . | Purpose . |
---|---|---|
DAPI | Nucleus, kDNA | To identify the kDNA network; fluorescence intensity is proportional to extent of kDNA replication |
TdT-incorporated TR-dUTP | Minicircles (free or network bound) that contain gaps | To label minicircles that have undergone replication |
FISH with fluorescein-labeled minicircle probe | Minicircle replication intermediates with single- stranded regions (Englund et al. 1982) | To identify the location of free minicircle replication intermediates |
