We too see the unexpected 8N etc. cell ploidies in some of our cell cultures and haven't had a good explanation for same. The "endoduplication" explanation seemed popular. Sorry to seem daft and ignorant but I surveyed a number of our cell culture people and molecular types here and no one could define endoduplication for me. In fact, no one had heard the term before. The mail camel has not yet arrived with my latest copy of cytometry so I am at a loss for an explanation of what endoduplication is. Could someone help this poor soul?
