In this study a technique is used which allows observation of chromatin fibers in sections of isolated liver nuclei of the rat. [] Key Result — After application of a preferential ribonucleoproteinstain (EDTA-method) only parts of the fibers retain their stain whereas others are completely bleached. Finer filaments (diameter = 45 Å) seem to be continuous with the stained parts of the chromatin fibers. The RNP-stain is lost when the nuclei have been treated with RNase. From these observations it is concluded…
