Abstract
THE improvement of methods for isolating cell nuclei requires the establishment of suitable criteria of nuclear intactness which may be used to evaluate changes in technique1. The following experiments were performed in the course of an effort to devise methods for following changes in the degree of polymerization of deoxyribonucleic acid during nuclear isolation.
