We have screened a human genomic DNA library with an immunoglobulin (Ig) derived switch (S) region specific probe for homologous sequences. Five Ig independent phage clones were isolated and characterized. The S sequence homologous DNA fragments are short compared to the S region sequences. Ig indep

โฆ Synopsis
DNA encoding the human aminopeptidase N (EC 3.4.11.2) gene (PEPN) was first isolated using rat cDNA probes and then used in Southern analysis of DNA from mouse-human somatic cell hybrids to assign this gene to the long-arm region (q11-qter) of human chromosome 15. This human genomic DNA probe detects a frequent DraIII polymorphism that is a useful marker for human chromosome 15.

We have used four independently isolated cDNA probes for human apolipoprotein B (apo B), to isolate overlapping genomic recombinants for the 3' portion of the apo B gene. The cDNA clones and a unique fragment from the genomic recombinant have been used to identify the human apo B gene in DNA from a
We have used a cDNA clone for human phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) to examine the chromosomal localization of three members of the human PGK gene family. Using somatic cell hybrids segregating portions of several X-autosome translocations as well as a clone panel of hybrids segregating radiation-indu
The protein designated as insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is a major substrate for the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. Since post-receptor defects in the insulin signalling pathway are a common feature of Type 2 (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, we have cloned the human IRS-1 gene in
