Abstract
Cytochemical data are presented to show that the histone fractions f1 and f2a are involved in the induction of chromosomal G bands, whereas the f2b and f3 fractions are not involved. Removal of the f1 and f2a fractions probably occurs during fixation and is necessary for the induction of G bands.Keywords
