title: Mapping of human fibronectin receptor beta subunit gene to chromosome 10.
abstract: Human-mouse hybrid cells were examined by indirect immunofluorescence with Mab DH12, a monoclonal antibody that recognizes the beta subunit of the human fibronectin receptor. Cells that expressed the antigen at their surface were sorted by FACS and karyotyped. Immunoaffinity chromatography on Mab DH12 was used to confirm the presence of the human antigen. The chromosome assignment was strengthened by isozyme analysis of markers for chromosomes 9 and 10. The results are suggestive for a 10p mapping of this beta subunit of the fibronectin receptor. Since the gene coding for the beta subunit of the VLA proteins was previously assigned to the same chromosome, our result could provide further evidence for the relationship between the beta subunit of the human fibronectin receptor and the VLA protein family.
