We have developed a purification method for the isolation of platelet-specific poly (A+) RNA
and demonstrated that human blood platelets, despite the absence of a nucleus, contain
stable mRNA. The poly (A+) RNA was used to construct a platelet-specific cDNA expression
library in λgtll. The platelet derivation of the purified mRNA was confirmed by identification of
membrane glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) message by immunoprecipitation of rabbit reticulocyte
lysate translation products with poly-and monoclonal antibodies against GPIbα and by …
