title: Isolation of a series of HLA class I clones from a human chromosome 6 genomic library.
abstract: Human metaphase chromosomes were fractionated by a fluorescent-activated cell sorter (FACS II) and the chromosome 6 fraction was sorted. A genomic library was constructed in lambda gtWES cloning arms using a partial EcoRI digest of the chromosomal DNA. We estimate that at least 60% of our library represents chromosome 6 material, and as 1.2 x 10(5) recombinants were obtained, this indicates that the majority of clonable chromosome 6 sequences are represented. The library was screened with a mouse H-2 class I clone and 18 HLA class I recombinants were isolated from 4 x 10(4) plaques.
