Abstract:
Objective To screen and isolate radioresistance-related genes from IRM-2 mouse.
Methods Full-length cDNA products were amplified by PCR from IRM-2 mouse cDNA library according to twenty-one pieces of expressed sequence tags. The property of proteins encoded by full-length cDNA were analyzed by comparing with GenBank database.
Results Five pieces of full-length cDNA which were not the same source as the known mice genes were found out from IRM-2 mouse cDNA library. Amino acid sequence and property of proteins encoded by these five pieces of full-length cDNA were obtained.
Conclusion Proteins encoded by full-length cDNA imply that unkown radioresistance-related genes may exist in IRM-2 mouse.
