Abstract
Within the past several years it has become clear that there are selective mechanisms which facilitate the passage of certain endogenous macromolecules across the nuclear envelope. It is likely that a number of questions relating to this process, particularly those that involve the identification and characterization of specific exchange sites, can be answered by utilizing electron-opaque tracers.
