Abstract
Summary. A micromethod is described for the extraction of mRNA from mouse ova and its translation in a message-dependent rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. Using this technique it has been possible, by SDS polyacrylamide gel fluorography, to visualize the products from the equivalent of 12·5 eggs.
