Double-stranded cDNA prepared from the 12S fraction of poly(A) RNA from interferon (IF)-producing human leukocytes was cloned in Escherichia coli using the pBR322 vector. One of the resulting clones had a 910-base pair insert which could hybridise to IF mRNA and was responsible for the production of a polypeptide with biological IF activity. Up to 10,000 units IF activity per g of cells was obtained from some clones.
从产生干扰素(IF)的人白细胞的聚腺苷酸(poly(A))RNA的12S组分制备的双链互补DNA(cDNA),使用pBR322载体克隆于大肠杆菌中。所得到的一个克隆含有一个910个碱基对的插入片段,它能与IF信使核糖核酸(mRNA)杂交,并负责产生具有生物学IF活性的一种多肽。从一些克隆中每克细胞可获得高达10,000单位的IF活性。
