Construction of recombinant plasmids containing rat thyroglobulin mRNA sequences

R Di Lauro et al. Gene. 1982 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Two plasmids containing rat thyroglobulin cDNA sequences have been constructed and characterized. A plasmid with a 500-bp insert (pRT6) was isolated and identified as thyroglobulin-specific on the basis of the tissue specificity of the inserted sequence and of its ability to retain thyroglobulin mRNA on a nitrocellulose filter. The cDNA insert in pRT6 was subsequently used to screen a rat thyroid cDNA library constructed with large cDNA. A plasmid was found containing a 1700-bp insert. The polarity and the fidelity of the insert is demonstrated by S1 mapping.
