Materials and MethodsCell Culture and Isotopic Labeling. Hepatoma tissue culture (HTC) cells were grown in suspension culture at cell densities between 4 and 6 X 105 cells/ml in a modified Swim’s S77 culture medium containing 50 mM tricine [7V-tris (hydroxy-methyl) methylglycine] buffer and fetal calf and calf sera at final concentrations of 5% each (Granner et al., 1968). HTC cell histone was labeled during 20-min incubationswith 0.5 mCi of [3H] lysine/l. of cells. The labeled cells were removed by centrifugation at 160g for 5 min at room temperature, washed t From the Departments of Internal Medicine (D.

The site of this free histone pool is extranuclear, and evidence suggests that it is not in the perinuclear space be-tween the inner and outer nuclear membranes. once with unlabeled medium, and then resuspended in fresh S77 medium warmedto 37 for the chase period. Novikoff cells were grown either in vivo within the peritoneal cavity of the rat or in vitro in culture flasks containing the modified Swim’s S77 culture medium. For the in vivo ex-periments, 0.5 mCi of [3H] lysine was injected into the cellladen peritoneal cavity of a rat. At the conclusion of the pulse, the radiolabeled cells were removed, washed once with the standard culture medium, and reinjected into the peri-toneal cavity of a second, uninoculated rat for the chase period. Aliquots of cells were removed from the latter animal at various times, centrifuged as described above, and quickly frozen. In the in vitro experiments, Novikoff cells were re-moved from the animal, centrifuged once, and resuspended in 100 ml of warm culture medium. Thecells were incubated with 0.5 pd of [3H] lysine for 20 min at 37. After the pulse, the cells were centrifuged, washed once, and resuspended in nonradioactive culture medium for the chase period. At appropriate times, cells were removed from the incubation medium, centrifuged, and washed once and then stored frozen at-17.DNA was labeled by incubating 2-ml aliquots of either HTC or Novikoff cells, at a concentration of 5 X 105 cells/ml, with 3.3 MCi of [3H] thymidine for 10 min at 37. The in vivo incorporation of [3H] thymidine was determined by injecting the radioisotope (2 MCi/ml of cells) into the peritoneal cavity of the rat for a 15-min incubation at which time an aliquot was removed and the cells frozen. Estimation of the specific radioactivity of the incorporation of [3H] thymidine into DNA was determined by using a modification of the Schmidt-Thannhauser (1945) procedure. Histone Isolation and Electrophoresis. Whole histone was isolated from HTC and Novikoff tumor cells by the method of Panyim et al.(1971). The yield from 4 X 108 HTC cells was approximately 6 mg and a comparable yield was obtained from the same number of Novikoff cells, Electrophoretic sep-aration of each of the histone fractions was accomplished in 9-cm gels (15% acrylamide) containing 2.5 m urea and 0.9 n acetic acid at130 V for 3.5 hr as previously described (Balhorn et al., 1971).[3H] Lysine incorporation into each of the histone fractions was determined by slicing each band from the gel, digesting with 30% hydrogen peroxide, and counting in Bray’s solution (Bray, 1960).
