Abstract
The selenocysteine tRNA population was examined in a human T-cell line and in a human monocytic cell line for the occurrence of additional s pecies of selenocysteine tRNA. At least three additional (and possibly more) selenocysteine isoacceptors were found which occur in minor lev els as compared to the two major selenocysteine isoacceptors previousl y characterized. The possible significance of these newly observed spe cies are discussed.
