Two absorptions of * * f with ethyl_acetate or two absorptions of * * f ( which had been passed_through Dowex-2-chloride ) , NS and * * f with crown_gall tissue powder , or mouse liver powder did not further improve the specificity of staining .

Treatment of the conjugates with ethyl_acetate , and the conjugates ( which had been passed_through Dowex-2-chloride ) with mouse liver powder , sweet_clover crown_gall tissue powder , or healthy sweet_clover proteins did not satisfactorily remove nonspecifically staining substances in the conjugates .
