Sequence of the mouse IFN-SS-C5a construct. The mouse C5a sequence was cloned from mouse liver using reverse transcription-cDNA amplification. This gene was fused to the mouse IFN-γ signal sequence. The signal sequence is boxed and the junction between the signal sequence and the C5a sequence (and the point of predicted signal peptidase cleavage) is indicated by a vertical arrow. The translation initiation site is indicated by a horizontal arrow. The entire construct was confirmed by sequencing. These sequence data are available from EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ under accession number AF165982
