- Abstract
Using human hemopexin cDNA clones isolated from lambda gt11 cDNA library as probes, we have carried out Southern blot analysis of a series of human-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids containing different combinations of human chromosomes. Synteny analysis revealed 100% concordance between the hemopexin gene and human chromosome 11. In situ hybridization of 3H-labeled hemopexin cDNA to metaphase chromosomes prepared from human lymphocytes further localized the gene to the region p15.4-p15.5, the same location as the beta-globin gene cluster.
