Membrane-Associated DNA in the Cytoplasm of Diploid Human Lymphocytes

R A Lerner 1,2, W Meinke 1,2, D A Goldstein 1,2
PMCID: PMC389156  PMID: 5288368

Abstract

A species of DNA that is apparently associated with the plasma membrane of diploid human lymphocytes that are continously growing is described. This DNA differes from nuclear or mitochondrial DNA by virtue of its location in the cell, time of synthesis in the cell cycle, and various physical properties. At present, the role of this DNA is unknown.

Keywords: electron microscopy, gradient centrifugation, DNA characterization, IgG
