Myeloma plasma cells were double stained using peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase labelled monoclonal anti-BrdU and anti-intracytoplasmic immunoglobulins. Samples were methanol fixed; DNA was denatured with formamide. The results allowed easy identification of plasma cells, their cytological examination and the calculation of percentage of plasma cells in S phase. Good correlation was found with the labelling index obtained with tritiated thymidine.
