Previous studies ofXenopus laevisembryos homozygous for the nucleolar deletion mutation have concluded that these embryos contain few, if any, copies of the genes for the 18 S and 28 S ribosomal RNAs. Using hybridization to restriction endonuclease digests of DNA it is found, in fact, that a small amount of ribosomal DNA is still present in such embryos. The ribosomal DNA in these embryos appears to include a few normal repeats together with a variety of unusual fragments containing either spacer or gene sequences. An antibody found in the serum of a scleroderma patient reacts with an antigen localized in the nucleoli of wild-type embryos. In anucleolate embryos this antigen is found in the so-called pseudonucleoli and in many small bodies in the nuclei.
