An improved preparation of sodium desoxyribonucleate from calf thymus is described, using sodium dodecyl sulfate solu-tion as the extracting and deproteinizing agent. The product gives no biuret test for protein, although viscosity studies indi-cate the possible presence of a trace of protein undetectable by the latter reagent. The degree of polymerization of the prod-uct isvery high as shown by viscosity measurements. The ultraviolet absorption curve, with£*% m 192 at 260 µ, does not demonstrate detectable impurities. The percent, nitrogen of the product, determined by the Kjeldahl method, is about 13.5 and the per cent, phosphorus, determined colorimetrically, is about 9.3. The yield of purified product is very satisfac-tory, being about 1.5 g. of sodium desoxyribonucleate (dry weight) per 15 g. of thymus (dry weight).In recent years desoxyribonucleic acid has been extracted from tissue first as desoxyribonucleo-histone, by the procedure of Mirsky. 2· 3 Sub-sequently the nucleic acid can be isolated as the sodi-um salt by precipitation from strong saline solution with alcohol. The method of Sevag, et al.,* is then
