If cells without cell wall barriers are used as host cells, transfection is carried out by the calcium phosphate precipitation method described by Graham and Van der Eb, Virology, 62: 456 (1973).

  • the average probe length was approximately 300 bp.
  • RNA of approximately 5 x 10 8 cells, 2 x 105 cpm of reverse transcript were synthesized.
  • P-oligo (dT) lg was hybridized to pDL34 immobilized on a 5 .Southern blot ( Figure 2) . From these results, it may be seen that a unique hybridization site is detected in pDL34. A single 3.9 kb band was detected in an SphI digest (Lane 1). There is a single SphI recognition site within the pDL34 insert (as shown on the map in Figure 1) as well as one in 0 the pBR322 vector. The probe hybridized to the fragment to the right of the SphI site present in the insert. Two DNA fragments were generated by digestion of pDL34 with the enzymes SacI (which cuts in the insert) and EcoRI (which cuts).
  • Lane 2 the probe hybridized to the 3.7 kb fragment, i.e., to the sequence on the right side of the SacI site.
  • Lane 3 contains a PstI digest of pDL34, and no hybridization of oligo dT was noted.
  • PstI digestion 5 produced three DNA fragments from the insert, as well as an intact pBR322 vector backbone.
  • the small ( 160 bp) restriction fragment generated by PstI at the right end of the cloned insert failed to bind to nitrocellulose under the conditions employed for Southern 10 transfer.
  • the oligo dT binding region of pDL34 is located in the approximately 50 bp region between the SacI site and the end of the cloned insert (also see Figure 6) . This region was detected in all of the initially isolated !_ clones. This finding suggests that the direction of the reverse transcription is from the oligo dT-hybridizing fragment to the left as denoted in Figure 1. It also suggests the orientation of the reading frame within the cDNA and implies that pDL34 is likely to be a complement of the 3' 20 end of its template mRNA.
  • pDL34 is homologous to a large, apparently endothelial cell-specific RNA species.
  • RNA was then generated in vitro with SP6 polymerase. This RNA was added to a rabbit reticulocyte lysate containing 35 S-m-thionine.

Circulation 70, 11-210). This finding further corroborates the identification of pDL34 as a Vwf cDNA clone and indicates that the precursor-specific amino 0 acid sequences in pro-vWf extend from the N terminus of the plasma protein.
  • the oligo(dT) binding site of pDL34 may be seen as a stretch of 18 dA residues, followed immediately by 12 dCs synthesized during library construction.
  • the hexanucleotide 5 AATAAA is located 18 bases upstream of the run of As. This is the characteristic poly(A) ' addition sequence (Proudfoot and Browniee, Nature 263: 211-214, 1976) at an appropriate distance (Fitzgerald and Shenk, Cell 24: 251-260, 1981) for the detected dA tract- to be a portion of the poly(A) tail of o vWf mRNA.
  • the (dA), reckons represents a portion of the poly(A) tai.l of vWf mRNA; in this case, the 3' untranslated region would extend for less than 200 bp.
  • the original primer for the cDNA library was oligo (dT) lg it is also possible that the (dA), réelle represents an 5 internal complement of the primer located in the 3' untranslated region of the vWf mRNA.
  • a partial cDNA clone can be similarly used. It might be expected that this approach would be most useful for the identification of cDNA clones encoding the N terminus of a given protein. Such 5 cDNAs might be expected to yield more readily translated mRNAs because of the presence of the natural initiation codon and, possibly, ribosome binding sites. However, pDL34 contains the C terminus of vWf, as indicated by DNA sequence information ( Figure 5). Thus, the presence of the natural 5' Q end of the mRNA was not a requirement for its j ln vitro translation.
  • C terminus may have aided antibody recognition, as protein termini may be generally more antigenic than internal sequences (Walter, et al. , Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA, 77: 5197-5200, 1980; Lerner, et al. , Cell 23: 309-10, 1981).
  • the anti-vWf monoclonals recognized more than one subset of these translation products, so in the aggregate, their activity appears to be against epitopes from more than one distinct region.
  • some of the polypeptides do not contain the authentic C terminus and were immunoprecipitated by antibodies to internal epitopes.
  • this method of verification may prove to have general applicability in defining the identity of certain cDNA cloning products in situations where antibodies to a protein are available and protein sequence information is not. Such a situation is not unusual for many large proteins and is particularly common in the study of certain cell-surface antigens.
