Abstract
In this study we describe the use of Xenopus laevis oocytes for the detection of mRNA coding for a murine interleukin-5 (mI15) receptor. When injected with sucrose gradient fractionated polyA+ RNA derived from the murine 115-dependent pre B cell line B13, these oocytes could specifically bind 35S-methionine labeled mI15. A size of approximately 4000 nucleotides (25S) was estimated for the mRNA corresponding to the mIL5-binding activity. This binding was not blocked by a monoclonal antibody R52 specific for the MI15-receptor, suggesting that the oocytes express a different form of this receptor.
