Abstract
WE have prepared a large series of nucleoproteins (DNP) from calf thymus by the method of Zubay and Doty1 and, unlike these authors, have obtained amounts of gel (GDNP) that varied from 0 to 80 per cent. We were thus surprised to find that extraction of DNP from chicken erythrocytes by the same procedure regularly gave high percentages of gel; of six preparations, five gave 90 per cent or more GDNP.
