Abstract
Using a radioimmunoassay for the NH2-terminus of prothymosin alpha, the crossreactive material was measured in subcellular fractions of calf thymus and liver. No significant amount of crossreactive material was found in the nucleus. This provides experimental evidence against a recent hypothesis, based on structural evidence, that prothymosin alpha is a nuclear polypeptide.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
