ABSTRACT

Fragments overlapping the tPA gene and its 5'- and 3'-flanking regions were isolated from human liver DNA library cloned in lambda Charon4A vector. A BglII fragment comprising the 3' end and the adjacent genomic region (total length 3.7 kb) was subcloned in plasmid pUC19 and its restriction map was determined. The nucleotide sequence of the 5' region of this fragment was compared with the 3' end region of the tPA gene and the corresponding regions of five published variants of tPA mRNA cDNA from different tissues; discrepancies in seven positions were revealed, which might be caused by intragenomic polymorphism.
