摘要：

The gene encoding beta galactosidase (B-gal), derived from E. coli was transferred by retroviral-mediated transduction to cultured human keratinocytes, and its expression was histochemically detected. Primary cultured keratinocytes were infected with a retrovirus vector carrying the genes for neomycin resistance (neo(r)) and B-gal. Confluent cultures were detached from their dishes, fixed in glutaraldehyde, and stained for expression of B-gal, whose presence was detected by a cytoplasmic blue color. We have modified histochemical staining procedures for B-gal detection to localize this product in cultured epithelial cells. Nuclei were counterstained by the Feulgen reaction, providing visualization of individually stained cells in a multilayered tissue. This technique allows histochemical detection of a gene transferred to cultured keratinocytes and facilitates the study of gene expression and cell fate in these cells.
