Abstract
To understand better the organization and linkage of the interleukin genes, IL4 and IL5, we prepared long-range restriction maps of five yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) containing IL5. We determined that IL4 and IL5 are within 100–170 kb, and that the regions surrounding these genes contain several GC-rich areas. Fluorescence in situ chromosomal analysis demonstrated that three of the five YAC clones contain non-contiguous genomic sequences originating from multiple human chromosomes.Keywords
