Assays were performed that measured both the rate and extent (or total capacity) of transfer RNA methylases in extracts of lymphocytes cultured in the presence and absence of phytohemagglutinin (PHA). The tRNA methylases of human peripheral blood lymphocytes undergoing blastogenesis in culture with PHA had a fiveto sixfold increase in rate and a threeto sevenfold increase in extent of methylati...
