An improved method for in vitro synthesis of protein by in vivo processes in an extract from a living organism and containing endogenous ribosomes and endogenous transfer RNA, primarily from endogenous amino acids in said extract primarily by the use of a predetermined exogenous messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). An improved method of assaying such a synthesis by the use of a labelled amino acid, which is present during said synthesis and is incorporated into said protein. A kit for carrying out such synthesis and assay comprising a vial of substantially prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell-free extract from a living organism containing endogenous ribosomes, endogenous transfer RNA and endogenous amino acids, a vial containing translation cocktail for promoting the synthesis, and a vial containing control messenger RNA.
