Transforming growth factor-Ξ² (TGF-Ξ²)-related genes have been postulated as possible mesoderm inducers in lower vertebrates. Activin, a member of the TGF-Ξ² family has been recently suggested to be directly involved in the induction of axial mesoderm in frogs and birds. Nodal, a novel TGF-Ξ²-like gene,
Subtractive hybridization was used to study river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) leukocyte-specific cDNA. A clone representing the most abundant component (12%) of the leukocyte library subtracted with liver cDNA was isolated and characterized. The cDNA encodes a presumably secreted polypeptide of 1
