In this paper the authors have carried out further research on the differentiation of six-day limb skin from chick embryos cultured in vitro in mediam containing histones. When 3H-uridine is added to this modified medium, a decrease of 3H-uridine uptake and incorporation is observed. The authors conclude that in their system the histones not only interfere with the regulation of genetic transcription by inhibiting DNA-dependent RNA synthesis, but they also change cellular permeability.
