โฆ Synopsis
In the course of screening a rabbit brain cDNA library with a probe for the H neurofilament protein, we identified a neurofilament L-cDNA. Its nucleotide sequence is 88% identical to that of human, indicating that L is highly conserved among species. The similarities between the sequences of L from rabbit and mouse suggest that the species-specific accumulation of neurofilaments that occurs in rabbit during aluminum intoxication is not a consequence of the primary structure of L.

A cDNA library was prepared from rabbit brain mRNA, in the expression vector, lambda gt11. The library was screened with polyclonal antibodies raised against the neurofilament protein NF-H, and a cloned cDNA (KMRH-1) was selected and characterized. The fusion protein coded for by KMRH-1 includes epi
