Selective activation of human beta-but not gamma-globin gene in human fibroblast x mouse erythroleukaemia cell hybrids

Selective activation of human beta-but not gamma-globin gene in human fibroblast x mouse erythroleukaemia cell hybrids

M C Willing et al. Nature. .

Abstract

The human alpha- and beta-globin genes have been activated in MEL X human fibroblast cell hybrids. However, even though the human gamma- and beta-globin genes are closely linked and were shown in these hybrid clones to be present in approximately equal numbers, no human gamma-globin mRNA was produced. Thus, the human beta- and gamma-globin genes in these cells are differentially regulated apparently by a positive regulatory factor(s) specific for individual globin genes.
