Abstract
Fat body cells of vitellogenic females of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae contain a prominent population of large polysomes of approximately 35–40 ribosomes whereas fat bodies of non-vitellogenic females or males of any age do not have these polysomes. Anti-vitellogenin recognizes newly synthesized nascent vitellogenin associated with these large polysomes. Adenosine labelled RNA is likewise precipitated by anti-vitellogenin primarily in the region of this class of polysomes. It is concluded that the class of large polysomes represents the vitellogenin polysomes.
