Isolation and sequence analysis of a cDNA clone encoding the fifth complement component
We have used available protein sequence data for the anaphylatoxin (C5a) portion of the fifth component of human complement (residues 19-25) to synthesize a mixed-sequence oligonucleotide probe. The labeled oligonucleotide was then used to screen a human liver cDNA library, and a single candidate cDNA clone of 1.85 kilobase pairs was isolated. Hybridization of the mixed-sequence probe to the compl
