Abstract
Separation of nuclear Hn-RNP particles into two density classes, following isopycnic centrifugation in metrizamide gradients, is reported. One class (density 1.31 g/ml) is rapidly labelled, and contains polydisperse heterogeneous high molecular weight particles, easily diffusible from intact nuclei under certain conditions. The other class (density 1.18 g/ml) is of lower molecular weight, not diffusible, and needs apparently a longer time to be labelled and/or to accumulate inside the nuclei.
