Abstract
C3H mice inoculated with 6C3HED ascites tumor show a gradual increase in the incorporation of ^32^P into liver DNA. Cell‐free supernatant fluid from this tumor has the capacity to stimulate increased incorporation of ^32^P and ^3^H‐labelled thymidine into liver DNA of mice not bearing the tumor. This liver‐stimulating activity (LSA) was destroyed by heating to 60° C for 30 min and by pronase but not by RNase or DNase. The time of maximum stimulation of liver DNA synthesis was on the 4th day after injection of LSA. A 70‐fold purification of LSA was accomplished using sephadex chromatography. It is suggested that LSA is the factor responsible for the increased liver DNA synthesis seen in tumor‐bearing animals, but the mechanism of this action has yet to be explained.

## Abstract Putrescine biosynthesis is elevated before DNA replication, and a stimulation of DNA synthesis by 20 mM putrescine has been found using an __in vitro__ DNA synthesizing system. Furthermore, this stimulation of DNA synthesis by putrescine involves a particular factor (factor PA). This fa
