title: Study of messenger-like RNA extracted from HeLa cells polysomes. II. Identification of the types of RNA eluted from  methylated albumin kieselguhr columns.
abstract: Together with the elution pattern of pure messenger RNA molecules of various origin, the labelling kinetics of rapidly labelled heterogeneously sedimenting RNA (HSRNA) extracted from polysomes of HeLa cells have been studied by chromatogrphy on columns made of methylated bovine serum albumin adsorbed on kieselguhr. HSRNA is eluted within three peaks-IP, Q2P and TDP-following in that order the increase of NaC1 concentration in  the eluting buffer. Besides peak TDP which results from an experimental artefact, our data suggest that the appearance of peaks IP and Q2P reflects the absence and presence respectively of polyadenylic acid stretches in these molecules. Within peak Q2P, the critical factor affecting the order of elution  is the size of the polyadenylic acid stretch.
