Identification of Griffiths transforming principle  
         1931 Henry Dawson - Repeats Griffith's Experiments and develops assay         that does not require mice.  
           1933 Lional Allway - Demonstrated that a soluble extract of IIS cells would         transform IIR cells.  
              1944 Avery, MacLeod and McCarty - Identified Griffith's Transforming Principle.         CD 
           
          
           Eliminate Polysaccharides -->Transformation Occurs  
           Eliminate Lipids -->Transformation Occurs  
           Eliminater RNA -->Transformation Occurs  
           Eliminate Protein -->Transformation Occurs  
           Eliminate DNA -->Transformation Does Not Occurs:  
           
         Therefore DNA is the         Transforming Principle Summary.   |
