Popis: | Chinese hamster fibroblasts synchronized by metaphase selection, amethopterin or 5-fluorodeoxyuridine were pulsed labelled in early or late stages of DNA synthesis with 3H-thymidine. Label distributions were studied in EM sections and under light microscopy of flattened nuclei. 1. 1. Early DNA synthesis occurred in replicons evenly distributed over the nucleus. 2. 2. Late DNA synthesis was restricted preferentially to replicons on the periphery of the nucleus. 3. 3. No shift of label occurred during chase periods with unlabelled thymidine. 4. 4. No significant differences between label distributions at the various stages could be found following different synchronization methods. 5. 5. The peripheral labelling during late DNA synthesis reflects synthesis in DNA usually present as condensed chromatin on the nuclear membrane. |
