Abstract

A DNA subclone (pPE-4000) derived from the λB4 interferon-β-related human genomic DNA clone was used as a probe in blot-hybridization experiments of DNA from a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids containing overlapping subsets of human chromosomes. The DNA hybridization experiments showed that the λB4 IFN-β locus is localized to human chromosome 4. A provisional regional assignment to 4q12-qter was also obtained. Thus available hybridization data implicate human chromosomes 2, 4, and 9 in the human IFN-β system while the available biological data also implicated human chromosome 5.
