title: Identification of lactate dehydrogenase-M polypeptide translated in vitro from human and mouse tumor cell poly(A)-containing messenger RNA.
abstract: Rabbit anti-human lactate dehydrogenase-5(M4) antisera were raised which cross-reacted with mouse lactate dehydrogenase M polypeptide. The antisera were used for identification of human and mouse LDH-M polypeptides synthesized using an in vitro system directed by the mRNAs. The in vitro translation products directed by both mRNAs were similar in size and immunologically identical to the authentic LDH-M polypeptides. The sizes of the mRNAs encoding for both human and mouse LDH-M polypeptides were similar, about 15S (1445 nucleotides) and were shorter than the corresponding rat mRNA which is about 18S (1765 nucleotides).
