title: Coding sequence and flanking regions of the mouse vimentin gene.
abstract: Using a polyclonal antibody, a cDNA clone coding for part of mouse vimentin was identified in a lambda gt11 expression library. DNA from this clone was used to screen a genomic library from Ehrlich Ascites Tumor cells for the mouse vimentin gene. A clone was found which contained the whole coding sequence and a large part of the 5'- and 3'-untranslated sequences. It was used to prepare a construct equivalent to a full-length cDNA clone. Extensive homologies to the vimentin sequence from other species were found for the coding and 3'-untranslated sequences and the promoter region.
