In this chapter, four methods are described that can be used to assess cell cycle status in flow cytometry. The first method is based on the simultaneous analysis of cellular DNA content using a fluorescent DNA dye (propidium iodide) and of a nuclear proliferation marker (Ki-67). The second is based on the differential staining of DNA and RNA using Hoechst 33342 and Pyronin Y: this method is particularly useful to distinguish quiescent cells in G0 phase from G1 cells. Finally, two methods are described based on DNA incorporation of the synthetic nucleosides BrdU and EdU.
