Comparative Investigation of the Free Nucleotides of an Ascitic Hepatoma and of Normal or Regenerating Liver

Abstract

OUR investigations1,2 of the regulation of the biosynthesis of ribonucleic acids* in the cells of normal and cancerous rats led us to examine the pool of free nucleo tides in the ascitic hepatoma of Zajdela as well as in normal and regenerating liver. Normal liver represents an organ in a practically stationary state with differen tiated cells; regenerating liver represents a tissue where normal cells start proliferating, and the ascitic hepatoma, proliferating cells partially dedifferentiated.
