✦ Synopsis

To trace the developmentally regulated expression of a gene coding for a pupal cuticle protein (GmPCP52), total RNA of carcasses was extracted at different times during metamorphosis and subjected to Northern blot analysis. Blots were probed with a dig-labelled antisense in vitro transcript of GmPCP52 cDNA.

In untreated animals, GrnPCP52 mRNA is absent during the wandering stage in last instar larvae. The amount of mRNA rises after pupal ecdysis to a maximum at a pupal age of 18 h. At 42 h it again becomes undetectable. Injection of the JH analogue epofenonane immediately after pupal ecdysis delays the decline of GmPCP52 mRNA, without the transcript have completely disappeared at 60 h. Thereafter it comes up again from day 3 to day 7 in the course of synthesis of a secondary pupal cuticle. Injection of 20E causes precocious disappearance of CMPCP52 mRNA. It becomes undetectable at day 2. Comparison of the Northern blot data with results of in vitro translation experiments reveals participation of translational control. o 1996 Wiley-Liss. Inc.

The sex-limited protein (Slp) antigen of the mouse is first detected in the serum of strain DBA/2J males at 5-6 weeks of age and reaches full adult levels by 10 weeks. This antigen is normally absent in females. Immature DBA/2J males castrated at 3½ weeks of age failed to develop Slp antigen, while

## Abstract Transgenic mice were produced which secreted high levels of bGH into milk. The 6.3‐kb upstream region of the rabbit whey acidic protein (rWAP) gene was linked to the structural part of the bovine growth hormone (bGH) gene, and the chimeric gene was introduced into mouse oocytes. bGH was
