Abstract
We report measurements of the incorporation of radioactive molecules during short labeling periods, as a function of cell‐cycle stage, using a cell‐sorter‐based technique that does not require cell synchronization. We have determined: (1) tritiated thymidine (^3^H‐TdR) incorporation throughout S‐phase in Lewis lung tumor cells in vitro both before and after treatment with cytosine arabinoside; (2) ^3^H‐TdR incorporation throughout S‐phase in KHT tumor cells in vitro and in vivo; (3) ^3^H‐TdR incorporation throughout S‐phase in Chinese hamster ovary cells and compared it with DNA synthesis throughout S‐phase; (4) a mathematical expression describing ^3^H‐TdR incorporation throughout S‐phase in Chinese hamster M3‐1 cells; and (5) the simultaneous incorporation of ^3^H‐TdR and ^35^S‐methionine as they are related to cell size and DNA content in S49 mouse lymphoma cells. In asynchronously growing cells in vitro and in vivo, ^3^HH‐TdR incorporation was generally low in early and late S‐phase and highest in mid‐S‐phase. However, in Lewis lung tumor cells treated with cytosine arabinoside ^3^H‐TdR incorporation was highest in early and late S‐phase and lowest in mid‐S‐phase. Incorporation of ^35^S‐methionine increased continuously with cell size and DNA content. Incorporation of ^3^H‐TdR in CHO cells was proportional to DNA synthesis.

## Background: Although the rate of rna synthesis is known to drop at mitosis, the recent identification of 11 stages in the cell cycle (el-alfy et al., 1994) makes it possible to measure the rate of this synthesis at each one of the stages and thus find out how it varies throughout the cell cycle.
The nuclear matrix is an integral part of nuclear structure which undergoes a profound reorganization during the cell cycle reflecting major changes in functional requirements. This includes the processes of DNA replication and gene expression at interphase and partitioning of the nuclear contents d
