Stability of polyadenylated mRNA in pig lymphocytes
Bioscience Reports
|July 1, 1981
Abstract:
The stability of cytoplasmic poly(A)-containing mRNA in unstimulated pig lymphocytes has been determined by [3H]poly(U) hybridization after actinomycin D treatment. This approach has shown that the majority of the mRNA is much more unstable than has been suggested by earlier pulse-chase experiments, and has a half-life of between 1 and 2 h.
