“…Evidence was obtained which indicated that EF-3 was essential for the translation of natural mRNA as well as poly(U), was associated with polysomes but not ribosomal subunits, and was required for every cycle in the elongation phase of protein synthesis. factors, have been prepared (Howe et al, 1978;Petryshyn et al, 1979; Khanh et al, 1979;Van Duin et al, 1979;Lelong et al, 1979; Zinker, 1980;Politz & Glitz, 1980;Ghosh-Dastidar et al, 1980;Tanaka et al, 1980;Stoffler et al, 1980;Kahan et al, 1981;Fahnestock et al, 1981; Van Duin & Wijnands, 1981; Kastner et al, 1981;Brown-Luedi et al, 1982;Meyer et al, 1982;Howe & Hershey, 1982;Olson et al, 1982). One of the problems inherent in the use of polyclonal antibodies has been the requirement for pure specific proteins for immunization, which in many cases are available only in 0006-2960/84/0423-3055S01.50/0 © 1984 American Chemical Society limited quantities, require laborious purification procedures, and may exhibit a low degree of immunogenicity.…”
