Abstract

A recombinant library has been constructed using the plasmid pAT153 and double stranded cDNA prepared from normal human lymphocyte poly(A)+ RNA. Transformation conditions were optimized to yield approximately 200,000 recombinants per microgram of double stranded cDNA. Statistical analysis as well as sequence complexity analysis of the inserted sequences indicates that the cDNA library is representative of > 99% of the poly(A)+ RNA present in the normal human lymphocyte.
