RESUMO

In a very active cell-free system containing polysomes derived from human placenta and a cell-sap fraction prepared from ascites tumor cells, the synthesis of the hormone human placental lactogen (HPL) was detected. The identification was based on the following: (a) The in vitro synthesized protein labeled with [35S]methionine migrated at the same rate as authentic HPL on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and (b) tryptic fingerprint analysis of the labeled protein yielded peptides having the same mobilities as seen with the same analysis of purified HPL.
