Cell proliferation

Kobayashi et al., Cytosolic Ca2+ transients are not required for
platelet-derived 
growth factor to induce cell cycle progression of vascular smooth muscle cells 
in primary culture: actions of tyrosine kinase. J. Biol. Chem.

In this study, we developed a fluorescent immunocytochemical method for 
colorimetric determination of cell cycle phase, using monoclonal antibodies 
(anti-PCNA and Ki-67).  The color pattern of the nucleus produced by 
double staining makes feasible differentiation of phases of the cell cycle
at  the level of the single cell.
