Identification of the transcriptionally active genes of the chorionic gonadotropin beta gene cluster in vivo.
1 Feb 1992
Abstract excerpt
The chorionic gonadotropin beta (CG beta) subunit is encoded by a multigene cluster composed of six homologous sequences (genes or pseudogenes). They are primarily distinguished by sequences in the 5' nontranslated region of the first exon. To determine which CG beta genes are active in vivo, we employed the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction technique. DNA complementary to RNA from placenta tissue...
