Presence of liver-forming fraction in fish egg mRNAs detected by its ability to encode albumin synthesis.
Poly A attached RNAs were isolated from carp ovarian and mature eggs. Both were equally potent in cell-free translating wheat germ system. The products were analyzed with rabbit antiserum against carp albumin and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The results revealed the presence of carp albumin, a liver specific protein.
