title: Cell-free synthesis of rat epidermal growth factor-like polypeptide.
abstract: Poly(A+)RNA isolated from the adult male rat salivary gland has been found to direct the synthesis of immunoreactive EGF polypeptide in the wheat germ cell-free translation system. When the immunoreactive translation products were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a single radioactive peak which co-migrated with the standard 125I-EGF (mouse) was observed.
