Studies are presented on the effects of polycations on the ultrastructure of nucleoli. When tumor cells were homogenized in 0.25Msucrose lacking divalent ions, polyamines or histones, the nucleolar structure was difficult to identify and nucleolar components appeared to be dispersed. Addition of arginine-rich histones and some slightly lysine-rich histones as well as polyamines to the sucrose medium used for homogenization preserved nucleolar structure with respect to ultrastructural morphology. Addition of protamines, spermine and spermidine to the homogenization medium containing sucrose produced compact and dense nucleoli. These results suggested that a practical procedure for isolation of nucleoli could be developed in which the polyamines were used and a combination of 15 mMMg2+and 0.25 mMspermine was found to provide a satisfactory addition to 0.25Msucrose for maintenance of nucleolar integrity. Nucleoli isolated from liver cells homogenized in a medium containing this combination were found to be similar in morphology and composition to those obtained with the sucrose medium containing calcium ion. The yields were essentially the same.
