Ten plasmid pools, designated 3KA to 3KJ and each containing approximately 30,000 individual clones, were combined to create pool 30K, containing 30,000 clones.
All clones examined were from pool 3KA from each library.
Number in frame with the tissue plasminogen activator signal sequence (VR1020/30K), the MCP-3 sequence (MCP-3/30K), and the CTLA4 sequence (CTLA4/30K).
The VR1020/30K library is described in reference 31.
