Abstract
In order to study the expression of the major subunit of neurofilaments (NFs), rat brain poly(A)+ RNA was purified by three different procedures and was injected in Xenopus laevis oocytes. This system was able to translate efficiently the 200 kDa NF subunit as shown by a dot-blot immunoassay and by immunoprecipitation of labeled NF polypeptides.
