Dear Haywood,

A definition of the Mitotic Index (MI) is: "The percentage of cells in
mitosis".

See: Basic Mutagenicity Tests, UKEMS Recommended Procedures, edited by D.J.
Kirkland, Cambridge University Press





Could someone out there give me a clean definition of "mitotic index (MI)?
This
seems to be distincly different than "DNA Index (DI)".  A lot of authors
have
used this in papers but in the searches that I have made, they don't define
it.

Thanks very much to anyone with help.
