Little change in the total weight, number of cell nuclei, and amounts of protein, ribonucleic acid, and deoxyribonucleic acid occurs in rat livers after local irradiation of the liver region. However, irradiation of the normal liver before partial hepatectomy does retard subsequent DNA accumulation and increase in number of cell nuclei. These effects appear to be due to a localized action of the radiation on the liver cells. The lag in DNA accumulation is not accompanied by a marked accumulation of acid-soluble purine–deoxyribose derivatives.

Tritium-labeled deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from pneumococci and from human leukocytes was added to growing cultures of HeLa cells at 37°C. Autoradiography revealed an extensive localization of tritium in the nuclear regions. The label could not be removed by treatment with ribonuclease or dilute perchloric acid, but quantitative removal from the cells could be effected with deoxyribonuclease. Chemical and radioactivity determinations on nucleic acids isolated from the exposed HeLa cells revealed the presence of tritium in all 4 DNA bases. About 12 µg. of tritiated DNA was recovered from 6 x 106 HeLa cells which had been exposed for 24 hours to 240 µg. of the human DNA. From this, it is concluded that the amount of DNA, or its degradation products, taken up by the cells was equivalent to at least 10 per cent of the normal HeLa cell complement.
