title: The structure of eight distinct cloned human leukocyte interferon cDNAs.
abstract: Eight classes of human leukocyte interferon (LeIFN) cDNA clones have been identified in a cDNA library prepared from a myeloblastoid cell line. The nucleotide sequences demonstrate that the multiple human LeIFN genes code for a family of homologous, yet distinct proteins. One of the cDNA clones may have been derived from the transcription of a LeIFN pseudogene.
