Abstract
Heterogeneous nuclear RNA was extracted from normal PHA-stimulated human lymphocytes and acute myeloid leukemia blast cells. Experiments were performed to determine the hybridization kinetics of these RNAs to human DNA. The best least squares solutions indicate in the hybridization reaction of both normal and leukemic RNA two main components. For leukemic cell RNA the rate constants of both components were significantly different from that of normal cell RNA. In particular, the difference between the rate constants of the second slower component suggests that the slowly hybridizing sequences in leukemic cell RNA have a degree of repetition higher than that of the corresponding sequences of normal cell RNA.
