Histone preparationChromatin was isolated from the livers of adult rats (Scott-Russ strain) according to the method of Bonner et al. (1968), omitting centrifugation through dense sucrose solution. Histone was extracted from the isolated chromatin by blending with 0-25N HCI. The insoluble material was centrifuged off and the extraction procedure repeated. The supernatants were pooled and histone was precipitated from the acid extract by adding 9 volumes of acetone. The precipitate was washed with acetone, air dried and finally vacuum dried.
Tissue culture method8The technique adopted to study invasion in vitro involved the use of modified Trowell organ culture flasks. The apparatus (Fig. 1)
