Abstract excerpt
The Xenopus oocyte is widely used to study the various aspects of eukaryotic cell structure and function. It is also being used increasingly in expression cloning of cDNAs encoding proteins for which there are no structural data. One of the drawbacks of the Xenopus oocyte system is that individual oocytes taken at the same time from the same frog vary considerably in the amount of protein synthesized from the...
