A method utilizing precipitation on filter paper has been used to isolate glycogen from
homogenates of liver or isolated hepatocytes. The procedure requires very small amounts of
tissue or cell suspension and is rapid and highly reproducible. Its efficiency and specificity
make it very suitable for many studies involving radioactive tracer incorporation into
glycogen.
