Summary
Smears from 5 parenchymatons organs of 26 corpses were studied with quinacrine hydrochloride fluorescent staining to detect Y-body in cell nuclei. The occurrence of Y-body in all male organs tested exceeded 15%. Detection of Y-body is a reliable method for identification of male sex.
Zusammenfassung
Ausstriche aus 5 Organen von 26 Leichen wurden mit der Quinacrine Hydrochloride Fluorescenz-Färbung zum Nachweis von YB in den Zellkernen untersucht. Die Auswertung der Resultate ergab, daß die Häufigkeit der Y-bodies in allen untersuchten männlichen Organen über 15% lag. Demgemäß kann behauptet werden, daß die Darstellung der Y-bodies eine zuverlässige Methode zur Identifizierung des männlichen Geschlechtes ist.
