Abstract

The purpose of this work was to analyze cDNA encoding human monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1), previously isolated from glioma cell line culture fluid. Screening of a cDNA library from total poly(A) RNA of glioma cell line U‐105MG yielded a clone that coded for the entire MCP‐1. Nucleotide sequence analysis and comparison with the amino acid sequence of purified MCP‐1 showed that the cDNA clone comprises a 53‐nucleotide 5′‐non‐coding region, an open reading frame coding for a 99‐residue protein of which the last 76 residues correspond exactly to pure MCP‐1, and a 389‐nucleotide 3′‐untranslated region. The hydrophobicity of the first 23 residues is typical of a signal peptide. Southern blot analysis of human and animal genomic DNA showed that there is a single MCP‐1 gene, which is conserved in several primates. MCP‐1 mRNA was induced in human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (PBMNLs) by PHA, LPS and IL‐1, but not by IL‐2, TNF, or IFN‐γ. Among proteins with similar sequences, the coding regions of MCP‐1 and mouse JE show 68% identity. This suggests that MCP‐1 is the human homologue of the mouse competence gene JE.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
