Abstract excerpt

Null alleles of all three genes (alpha, beta and gamma) coding for the major serum protein of Drosophila larvae, larval serum protein 1, have been characterized at the protein level and by analysis of their RNA and DNA. Each allele completely lacks one polypeptide chain. beta shows an unaltered g...
