Abstract excerpt
C9 is the last of the human complement components creating the membrane attack complex. The single chain serum protein is encoded by a gene located on chromosome 5p13 that is composed of 11 exons. With the aid of inverse PCR, the hitherto unknown regions flanking exon 1 and the 3' part of exon 11 (3'UTR) have been sequenced. A computer-based analysis of the 300-bp region located just upstream of the AUG start...
