Dear all,
	An investigator in the lab try to stain sperm cells in order to
differentiate spermatozoid, aploid germinal cells and diploid non germinal
cells. First we tried to stain simultaneously spermatozoid and lymphocytes
using PI (Vindelov staining technic) and found a 4.6 fluorescence intensity
ratio between the two populations. Can DNA structure (compaction,
protamines vs histones) explain this observation? Any comments will be
welcome.
	Thanks in advance.
			Franck.
