## Abstract A quantitative doseβresponse study was made of the inhibition by actinomycin D of the synthesis of various RNA species in cultured L cells. After a suitable preincubation with various concentrations of actinomycin, synthesis was measured by a brief incorporation of radioactive uridine.
Preferential inhibition of the synthesis of ribosomal RNA by low doses of actinomycin D was used to investigate the quantitative relationship between the intensity of silver staining of nucleoli and the rate of RNA-synthesis. The two parameters were found to be strongly correlated in human diploid f
