Abstract excerpt

Three variants of human interferon (IFN)-alpha 8a gene, that is, IFN-alpha 8b, and IFN-alpha 8c, have been reported previously. They differ from each other by changes in their coding region at nucleotide positions 359-360, 372, and 550. Human genomic DNA obtained from over 28,000 healthy blood donors and from 4 human cell lines was used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) designed for specific amplification of...
