“…Several reports have described the isolation of ribonucleoprotein particles from nuclear fractions. Ribosomes have been liberated from the nuclei by extraction with Tris buffer (1,2), detergent treatments (3)(4)(5)(6) or ultrasound (5,7), and from nucleoli by deoxycholate (8). Although the nuclear fractions frequently contained considerable contamination by cytoplasmic components and whole cells (1)(2)(3)(4)(5), the nuclear ribosomes were, in many cases, functionally different from cytoplasmic ribosomes (1,2,(4)(5)(6)8).…”
