Separation of Microsomal RNA into Five Bands during Agar Electrophoresis

Abstract

Microsomal RNA from rabbit livers and lymph nodes separate into five major bands during agar-gel electrophoresis. The electrophoretic method may be used either as an analytical or preparative tool. The 33S and 19S peaks of microsomal RNA from sucrose-gradient zone centrifugation divide into two bands each during simple agar electrophoresis.
