Abstract
Hayhoe and Quaglino1 have reported investigations of RNA metabolism in normal human leucocytes when cultured with phytohaemagglutinin, using uridine -5-3H as a specific precursor of RNA. They found little evidence of cytoplasmic labelling after terminal incubation for 1 h with tritiated uridine (0.5 μc./ml.), either at 24, 48 or 72 h of culture.
