Steady-state levels of the mtRNA encoding the subunit II of the cytochrome c oxidase were determined at several stages of rat T-cell differentiation. Our results showed that its abundance was higher in cells representing the early steps of T-cell development, decreasing in mature T-cells. The possible implications of these findings are discussed.
