An RNA fraction containing poly (adenylic acid) sequences has been isolated from membrane-bound poly-somes of mouse myeloma tumor. Annealing to a poly (thymidylic acid)-cellulose column, significant RNase-resistance (20%), and the size of the RNase-resistant fragment (7S) all suggest that this RNA fraction contains largetracts of poly-(adenylic acid)-rich sequences. This is confirmed by the find-ing of 80% AMP in the RNase-resistant fraction. Conditions of temperature and ionic strength for chromatography on poly (thymidylic acid)-cellulose are established for optimal recovery of RNA containing poly (adenylic acid) withmini-mal contamination by ribosomal RNA. The isolated poly-(adenylic acid)-rich fraction functions as an efficient RNA^^) ne of the intriguing questions concerning the immune response is the generation of antibody diversity. As yet, there are no experimental data to decide between the two main theories proposed: the germ line theory and the theories involving somatic mutation and recombination (for review see Smith et al., 1971). A measure of the number of genes for immunoglobulin chains in cells of different tissues, including the genes for the variable part, could answer that question. Such a measure could be achieved by DNA-DNA hybridizat From the Department of Pathology, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland, and theSwiss Institute of Experimental CancerResearch, Lausanne, Switzerland.

This reaction is completely dependent upon added RNA as template, and oligothymidylic acid as primer. Priming activity is inversely related to the size of the oligothymidylic acid. Densityequilibrium centrifugation of the native product shows that some of the radioactivity is associated with RNA. However, after denaturation, all the radioactivity bands as DNA. The averagesize of the product synthesized, as determined by alkaline sucrose sedimentation, depends on the con-centration of the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates used in the reaction. The specificity of the product synthesized is demonstrated by hybridization. tion under conditions of large DNA excess, using a “Cot” analysis (Britten and Kohne, 1968; Gelb et al., 1971). One advantage of such an approach is that in vitro synthesized DNA could be obtained at high enough specific activities to give meaningful data. In addition, DNA-DNA hybridizations are less susceptible to degradation at high temperature when compared to those performedwith RNA.
