I also have a written record because I was so impressed by the article that I wrote a note about it on January 20, 1945, and that I have saved and it’s on the web site.
Nucleoprotein is soluble in 1 M salt solution. 14 M, it all precipitates out. He could purify it from other things this way. He thought he could extract our pneumococci with salt. It turned out that very little stuff was extracted. We had worked together on an experiment, in which we took one of our large batches and went through the salt procedure. We got a little bit of this fibrous precipitate on bringing the salt concentration down. I tested it, having some trouble putting it into the solution, but it was active in transformation.
