title: Purification of poly(A)-messenger ribonucleic acid by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: Polyadenylated messenger ribonucleic acid [poly(A)-mRNA] was purified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Partially purified poly(A)-mRNA was prepared from rat liver polysomes by magnesium precipitation followed by affinity chromatography on an oligo(dT) cellulose column. Translatable poly(A)-mRNA, as assayed by in vitro translation in a rabbit reticulocyte system, was resolved from non-translatable RNA by RP-HPLC. The separation appears to be due to the presence of poly(A) residues on the 3' terminus of the mRNA.
