Taxol induces either arrest in prophase or multimininucleation

HeLa cells were grown on #1 coverslips, and fed regular medium (Control; A and B) or treated with 100 nM taxol for 24 hr (C–E). Cells were stained with Hoechst 33342 (B, D, and E) and viewed with epifluorescence. The corresponding phase is shown in the left-most panel. Panel E shows prophase-blocked cells in focus; Panel D shows the same field but with the attached interphase cells in focus. Bar in Panel E represents 10 µm; magnification is the same for all panels.
