The protamine to histone replacement in fertilized mouse eggs was studied by using antibodies to these proteins. Its course was followed with respect to DNA replication by autoradiography of 3H-thymidine-labeled fertilized eggs. It was found that protamines were replaced by histones before the onset of DNA replication.
Nonchev et al. (1990) studied this question.
