β¦ Synopsis
We have developed a simple and rapid method for isolation of purified nuclear lamina from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. The procedure employs chromatin structures prepared from whole cells at low ionic strength and is carried out under conditions that minimize the formation of artifactual protein-DNA complexes. When the isolation is performed in the presence of EDTA, nuclear lamina without distinct pore complexes is obtained. In the absence of EDTA, intact pore complexes and a large amount of vimentin 100 A filaments are seen associated with nuclear lamina. The main nuclear lamina proteins are characterized using gel electrophoresis, immunoblotting, and two-dimensional peptide mapping. An extensive structural homology is found between lamin A and lamin C, whose peptide maps differ by only one major spot, whereas lamin B has apparently unrelated pattern.

## Abstract The steady state transport and distribution of chloride between the intracellular and extracellular phases was investigated when the extracellular chloride concentration was varied by isosmotic replacement with nitrate, bromide and acetate. The results of these experiments show that chl
Ehrlich ascites tumor cells spontaneously release cell surface material (glycocalyx) into isotonic saline medium. Exposure of these cells to tritium-labeled 4,4'-diisothiocyano-1,2-diphenylethane-2,2'-disulfonic acid ( H2 DIDS) at 4Β°C' leads to preferential labeling of the cell surface coat. We have
## Abstract Previous studies have shown that mediated Cl^β^ transport which occurs by at least two processes (Cl^β^βdependent cation cotransport and Cl^β^ selfβexchange) becomes progressively inhibited when extracellular Cl^β^ exceeds about 60 mM (Hoffmann et al., 1979). To account for this type of
The effect of extracellular Pi and arsenate on Pi-transport in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells has been studied. Pi-transport can be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics; the maximal flux equal to 44 mmoles (kg cell water)-' hour-' and K m equal to 3.3 X 1 0 -4 M. Arsenate is a competitive inhibitor o
