Abstract:
:The translation of mRNA within total RNA of German (Blattella germanica) cockroaches was performed using a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. Analysis of the translation products by SDS-PAGE and combined autoradiography revealed several synthesized proteins with apparent molecular weights ranging from 20 kD to 110 kD. SDS-PAGE/Western blotting of non-radiolabeled translation products and incubation with human serum with IgE to cockroach allergens showed the presence of a 36 kD and 50 kD allergen. The confirmation of the translation of the cockroach allergens from total RNA is an important first step in the cloning of cockroach allergens.
