Abstract
DIFFERENT RNA precursors have been utilized to label foetal and maternal RNA in vivo with varying results1,2. Recently 3H-cytidine has been shown to effect the highest level of radioactive incorporation into both the maternal and foetal RNA3. The work reported here was undertaken to compare the incorporation of three separate RNA precursors into the rat maternal liver serially throughout gestation; thus, differences in incorporation that may develop with pregnancy among the individual precursors can be compared directly.
