| Abstract: | Two distinct recombinant cDNA clones having homology to mouse laminin B1 have been isolated from an adult chicken eye library by cross-species nucleic acid hybridization. DNA sequence analysis identified one cDNA as the chicken homologue of the prototypic EHS laminin B1 chain. The second recombinant cDNA encodes a portion of a laminin B1-like protein, which is neither the chicken homologue of laminin B1 nor s-laminin, and thus represents a new laminin B1 variant. |
