RNA in the peripheries of various populations of lymph node cells (LNC) has been evaluated by measuring the electrophoretic mobilities of cells, before and after treatment with active or inactivated ribonucleases. Three different populations of LNC were studied: (1) "resting" normal age control LNC;

Abstract
RNA molecules which are restricted to the nucleus in mouse Lβcells were characterized by the technique of RNA/DNA hybridization. Competition of cytoplasmic RNA with labeled nuclear RNA of various sizes revealed that the RNA restricted to the cell nucleus is heterogeneous in size. Competition for sites on fractions of mouse DNA of various base compositions indicated that this unstable RNA is also heterogeneous in base composition. Fractionation of nuclei into three subfractions failed to separate the uniquely nuclear RNA from the precursors of cytoplasmic RNA. The significance of the selective transport of RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and its importance in the control of gene activity in eucaryotic cells is discussed.

The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 is a cell surface glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily which mediates adhesion between neural cells. The possibility that similar cell-cell recognition mechanisms may be shared by the nervous and immune systems prompted us to study the expression and fu
## Abstract Medium harvested from cultures of mouse Lβcells contains βconditioning factor activityβ (CFA) that may be detected by its ability to stimulate colony formation by mouse marrow cells in culture. The active material has been characterized and appears to be a glycoprotein with properties s
Previous studies have shown that the BM88 antigen, a novel neuron-specific molecule, promotes the differentiation of mouse neuroblastoma (Neuro 2a) cells. In particular, stably transfected, with the BM88 cDNA, Neuro 2a cells overexpressing the BM88 antigen (Neuro2a-BM88 cells) are morphologically di
