Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2004 Oct;23(6-7):927-30. doi: 10.1081/NCN-200026042.

Abstract

Extracellular nucleic acids in cultures of A431 and HeLa cells were investigated. The data obtained demonstrate the presence of high weight DNA and RNA in the extracellular medium. Temporal changes of extracellular nucleic acids levels in growth medium were investigated.
