Histochemical Study of the Nucleic Acids in Benign and Malignant Squamous Epithelium of the Uterine Cervix

Abstract

Nucleic acids, which are thought as significant cellular constituents for cell proliferation and its metabolism, have been the center of interest for over many years and many brilliant works have been done to elucidate their chemical nature, their intracellular localization, and their biological activity. In view of clinical point, we have been studying to seek pathological processes of precancerous lesions by means of histochemical methods, we have had following results so far of the nucleic acids in beneign and malignant epithelium of the uterine cervix.
