Summary

The in vitro labeled RNAs in the accessory glands from male adults, and in the salivary glands and fat body from developing larvae ofDrosophila melanogaster were separated on linear gradient acrylamide gels in formamide. The patterns appear to be tissue- and stage-specific, and several lines of evidence indicate that the visualized radioactive bands include both hnRNA and messages.
