Abstract
With the aid of recombinant DNA molecules the concentration of nine different mRNAs in cultured Chinese hamster cells has been compared to liver cells. One clone in nine showed a marked increase (13-fold) in liver cells but the remainder were present at about the same level in the two cell types. The rate of RNA synthesis in the nucleus was not increased by 13-fold for this clone but only about 3-fold. These data show that quantitative hybridization to recombinant DNA can estimate mRNA concentrations and rates of synthesis accurately and suggest levels at which control operates.
