title: Chromosomal mapping of the human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene (IL-1RN) and isolation of specific YAC clones.
abstract: Using a panel of somatic rodent-human cell hybrids, we show that the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene (IL-1RN) maps to the long arm of human chromosome 2. Linkage studies permitted the regional localization of this gene to band q14-21. This is the same region in which the IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta genes are localized. Three yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones containing the IL-1RN gene were isolated, and these will be used for further characterization of this chromosome 2 region.
