A method for the isolation of mRNA from a c-type virus-positive cell (JLS-V6) has been developed. This method consisted of (i) specific immunochemical precipitation of polyribosomes synthesizing viral proteins, (ii) extraction of the mRNA from the polyribosome/antigen/antibody complex, and (iii) separation of poly-A containing RNA by affinity chromatography on oligo-d (T) -cellulose. Three size classes of virus specific poly-A containing mRNA are identified and they are 35S, 20S-25S, and 10S-15S.
