Abstract
A peptidic effector from calf thymus causes a strong stabilization of DNA double-stranded molecule in vitro. The active factor was isolated from aqueous ultrafiltered thymus extracts and purified by means of chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and then on Dowex 50 WX2. The purified thymic factor was characterized as a peptide of low molecular weight (less than 5000). The biological activity of the thymic factor cannot be attributed to a histone fragment. Melting data of the control DNA and of the DNA-active factor complex in various conditions of ionic strength and dielectric constant of the solution medium are recorded.Entities:
