Comparative Study

Human leukocyte and fibroblast interferons are structurally related

T Taniguchi et al. Nature. .

Abstract

The coding sequences of the dDNAs of cloned human leukocyte interferon I and human fibroblast interferon show homologies of 45% at the nucleotide and 29% at the amino acid level. We conclude that the two genes were derived from a common ancestor.
