Abstract
Mouse fibroblasts (L-cells) in suspension culture take up exogenous Escherichia coli tRNA in the presence of DEAE-Dextran. Tritium-labeled formylmethionine tRNA and valine tRNA are both taken up at very low levels. Tritium activity is associated solely with 4S material as judged by chromatography of cell extracts on Sephadex G-100. Further analysis of this material on a dihydroxyboryl-substituted cellulose indicates that a small portion of the tRNA taken up is acylated by the L-cells.
