Abstract
A sensitive, reliable assay of activity of RNA polymerase in purified nuclei from the rat brain is described. The assay measured the incorporation of [3H]guanosine triphosphate into RNA by nuclei. Little incorporation occurred in the presence of α-amanitin (400 ng) suggesting that RNA polymerase B activity was being measured. Preliminary evidence showed that after administration of oestradiol benzoate to 18-day-old female rats RNA polymerase activity was raised in areas of brain known to contain oestrogen receptors.
