title: Cloning of human chromosome 17-specific cDNAs using representational difference analysis and human-mouse hybrid cells.
abstract: We employed cDNA representational difference analysis (RDA) with human-mouse somatic hybrid cells containing human chromosome 17 and obtained several cDNA clones specific for this chromosome. A cDNA library from PHA-stimulated T cells was screened with unknown cDNA clones obtained by RDA as probes. Subsequently, 1 complete gene and 1 partial cDNA clone were obtained. Our successful result implies that this subtractive amplification technique with hybrid cells will be a useful aid in positional cloning in large-spanning regions.
