Popis: A method of viscosimetry was used to compare the molecular weight of the crude and lyophilized desoxynucleoproteids (DNP) and DNA preparations at various stages of their purification from protein. As demonstrated, lyophilization leads to a marked reduction of polymerity of the preparations, especially in the DNA lyophilized preparations. However, the immunological activity of the DNP preparations remained unchanged after lyophilization. The study of the DNP by means of the quantitative complement fixation reaction has shown that crude and lyophilized DNP preparations had an equal initial antigenic and serological activity which could be explained by their sufficiently high polymerity.
