A small number of mouse embryos and embryonal carcinoma cells were pressed by mica sheet; then the extruded DNA complexes were adsorbed to mica and processed for electron microscopy. Extrachromosomal circular DNA complexes longer than 1 μm emerged during the compaction process of mouse embryos and during the differentiation of embryonal carcinoma cells induced with retinoic acid. These DNA molecules are discussed as possible products of developmental gene rearrangements occurring in the chromosomal DNA.
用云母片挤压少量小鼠胚胎和胚胎癌细胞;然后将挤出的DNA复合物吸附到云母上并进行电子显微镜处理。在小鼠胚胎的压实过程以及视黄酸诱导的胚胎癌细胞分化过程中出现了长度超过1μm的染色体外环状DNA复合物。这些DNA分子被认为是染色体DNA中发生的发育基因重排的可能产物。
