Abstract

The gene for human complement component C9 has been mapped to chromosome 5. This was achieved by using a novel application of the polymerase chain reaction to amplify specifically the human C9 gene on a background of rodent DNA in somatic cell hybrids. The assignment to chromosome 5 was confirmed by in situ hybridization to human metaphase chromosomes, giving a regional localization of 5p13.
