TLDR
A monoclonal antibody having specificity for an antigenic determinant carried by human but not mouse C3 was used to study the continued expression of human C3 in three panels of independently derived human-mouse somatic cell hybrids and Expression of the human product was shown to segregate with human chromosome 19 and with no other chromosome or group of chromosomes.Abstract:
The third component of complement (C3) is synthesized and secreted by cultured human primary fibroblasts. A monoclonal antibody having specificity for an antigenic determinant carried by human but not mouse C3 was used to study the continued expression of human C3 in three panels of independently derived human-mouse somatic cell hybrids. Expression of the human product was shown to segregate with human chromosome 19 and with no other chromosome or group of chromosomes. A unique-sequence human genomic C3 DNA clone was isolated and used as a probe in DNA hybridization experiments with DNA prepared from appropriate human-mouse somatic cell hybrids to confirm assignment of the human C3 gene to chromosome 19.read more

Identification of transforming gene in two human sarcoma cell lines as a new member of the ras gene family located on chromosome 1
TL;DR: A molecular clone containing part of the transforming gene from two human sarcoma cell lines, HT1080 and RD, has been obtained and shown to represent a new member of the human ras gene family.

The structural basis of the multiple forms of human complement component C4
TL;DR: Comparison with partial sequences of a second C4A allele and a C4B allele has led to the tentative identification of some class differences in nucleotide sequences between C3A and C3B and of allelic differences between C4 a and B alleles in this highly polymorphic system.

TL;DR: It is shown that the human equivalents of c-fes and c-abl are localized on human chromosomes 15 and 9, respectively, and this findings exclude the possibility that these transformation-related genes are clustered at a single locus within the human genome.

Anticipation in myotonic dystrophy: fact or fiction?
TL;DR: It is concluded that anticipation may be inherent in the transmission of myotonic dystrophy and has important consequences for genetic counselling.

Cleavage of Structural Proteins during the Assembly of the Head of Bacteriophage T4
TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products.

Purification of Biologically Active Globin Messenger RNA by Chromatography on Oligothymidylic acid-Cellulose

TL;DR: A convenient technique for the partial purification of large quantities of functional, poly(adenylic acid)-rich mRNA is described and should prove generally useful as an initial step in the isolation of specific mRNAs.
