[Structural properties of leukemic and normal lymphoid cells]

DNA synthesis intensity and spectral and fluorescent properties of leucemic, PHA-induced and intact normal mouse spleen cells and of nuclei isolated from these cells were investigated. The cell electrophoretic mobility and DNA-protein interaction in the nuclei were studied. Similarity in cell and nuclei fluorescence, fluorescence of the probe ANS conjugated with the cells, the electrophoretic mobility and tightness of DNA--protein interaction for leucemic and PHA--induced cells and also the similarity of the tightness of DNA--protein interaction for leucemic and normal intact cells were found inspite of the differences in DNA synthesis intensity and cell functional peculiarities.
