Abstract
DNa has been extracted from hamster-human and mouse-human hybrid cell lines, restricted with EcoRI, and hybridised to a probe for the H subunit of human ferritin, pDBR2. Sequences highly homologous to this probe have been found on at least eight human chromosomes: 1, 2, 3, 6p21→6cen, 11, 14, 20, and Xq23–25→Xqter. Only the gene on chromosome 11 appears to be expressed in these hybrids Southern blotting of DNA from somatic cell hybrids containing different subsets of human chromosomes. The study shows that H subunit sequences are found on at least nine different chromosomes.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
