Abstract
The antibodies to Mycoplasma hominis (Mh) and Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) in 123 sera from the patients with gonorrhoea and 108 sera from the healthy persons control were detected with micro-indirect hemagglutination test. The results showed that the antibody to Mh positive rate was 23.58%, GMT 1: 7.60, and to Ct 72.35%, GMT 1: 8.71 in the patients. The differences of the antibody levels between the patients and the controls were significant. It was suggested that the urogenital infections caused by Mh and/or Ct are common in the patients with gonorrhoea in Liuzhou area, Guang Xi Autonomous Region of China. The significance and distributional characteristics of Mh and Ct infections in the urogenital system and the reasons about higher positive rate in the patients with gonorrhea were discussed.

Abstract
We evaluated the acute effects of varying dialysate calcium concentration on plasma concentrations and dialyzer fluxes of calcium and phosphorus in adult hemodialysis patients. Seven individuals with stable end-stage renal failure were dialyzed 4 hours, three times weekly. The effects of dialysates containing 1.75, 1.25, or 0.75 mmol/L (70.1, 50.1, or 30.1 mg/L) of calcium were compared. Each patient was studied once at each bath calcium concentration. Compared with the predialysis mean value of 2.27 mmol/L (9.1 mg/dL), plasma total calcium concentration increased, remained constant, or decreased with the 1.75-, 1.25-, or 0.75-mmol/L calcium dialysates, respectively. The 0.75-mmol/L calcium dialysate did not cause signs or symptoms of hypocalcemia (and the plasma calcium concentration did not fall below 1.80 mmol/L [7.2 mg/dL]). Plasma phosphorus concentrations decreased equally from a predialysis mean value of 2.16 mmol/L (6.7 mg/dL), regardless of the dialysate calcium concentration. After 4 hours of treatment with the three different dialysates, the cumulative calcium fluxes were significantly different. With 1.75 mmol/L calcium, mean bodily calcium accumulation was 21.9 mmol (879 mg). With 1.25 mmol/L, there was no net calcium flux. With 0.75 mmol/L, mean patient calcium loss was 5.8 mmol (231 mg). Mean phosphorus removal after 4 hours was 32.5 mmol (1,006 mg) and was unaffected by dialysate calcium concentration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Protection against the pore-forming activity of the human C5b-9 proteins was conferred on a nonprimate cell by transfection with cDNA encoding the human complement regulatory protein CD59. CD59 was stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells using the pFRSV mammalian expression vector. After cloning and selection, the transfected cells were maintained in media containing various concentrations of methotrexate, which induced surface expression of up to 4.2 x 10(6) molecules of CD59/cell. Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C removed greater than 95% of surface-expressed CD59 antigen, confirming that recombinant CD59 was tethered to the Chinese hamster ovary plasma membrane by a lipid anchor. The recombinant protein exhibited an apparent molecular mass of 21-24 kDa (versus 18-21 kDa for human erythrocyte CD59). After N-glycanase digestion, recombinant and erythrocyte CD59 comigrated with apparent molecular masses of 12-14 kDa, suggesting altered structure of asparagine-linked carbohydrate in recombinant versus erythrocyte CD59. The function of the recombinant protein was evaluated by changes in the sensitivity of the CD59 transfectants to the pore-forming activity of human C5b-9. Induction of cell-surface expression of CD59 antigen inhibited C5b-9 pore formation in a dose-dependent fashion. CD59 transfectants expressing greater than or equal to 1.2 x 10(6) molecules of CD59/cell were completely resistant to human serum complement. By contrast, CD59 transfectants remained sensitive to the pore-forming activity of guinea pig C8 and C9 (bound to human C5b67). Functionally blocking antibody against erythrocyte CD59 abolished the human complement resistance observed for the CD59-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells. These results confirm that the C5b-9 inhibitory function of the human erythrocyte membrane is provided by CD59 and suggest that the gene for this protein can be expressed in xenotypic cells to confer protection against human serum complement.

Abstract
18 patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly subdivided into two groups: PGI2-treated group (11 cases) and low-molecular-weight Dextran-treated group (7 cases). Dosage of PGI2 was 2-5 ng/kg/min intravenous drip. Infusion was started within 72 hours after the onset of symptoms. The data showed that the plasma 6-keto-PGF1 alpha levels were increased, the plasma TXB2 levels, MAR as well as the scores of neurological deficit were decreased in the PGI2-treated group. The clinical improvement in PGI2-treated group is better than that in the dextran-treated group.

Abstract
Degenerating and regenerating muscle fibers, in serotonin-induced myopathy (SM) of rats, were investigated histochemically, immunohistochemically and electron microscopically with polyclonal antibodies against dystrophin, type IV collagen and laminin. The myopathy produced was characterized by grouping of degenerating and regenerating muscle fibers, and degeneration of capillary endothelial cells. Dystrophin disappeared in an early stage of muscle degeneration and reappeared in an early stage of regeneration. On the other hand, type IV collagen and laminin were well preserved throughout the degeneration and regeneration processes, even on the shrunk and wrinkled basement membrane of empty muscle fibers after phagocytosis. Muscle fiber regeneration was completed within each tube of the preserved basement membrane through the fusion of myoblasts derived from satellite cells of single necrotic fibers, myotubes already being visible on the 1st or 2nd day of regeneration on light microscopy. These small regenerating myotubes did not fuse with each other at all. The findings in the present experimental SM study are compatible with those in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, especially at the preclinical stage.

Abstract
The capacity of the human complement regulatory protein CD59 to interact with terminal complement proteins in a species-selective manner was examined. When incorporated into chicken E, CD59 (purified from human E membranes) inhibited the cytolytic activity of the C5b-9 complex in a manner dependent on the species of origin of C8 and C9. Inhibition of C5b-9-mediated hemolysis was maximal when C8 and C9 were derived from human (hu) or baboon serum. By contrast, CD59 showed reduced activity when C8 and C9 were derived from dog or sheep serum, and no activity when C8 and C9 were derived from either rabbit or guinea pig (gp) serum. Similar specificity on the basis of the species of origin of C8 and C9 was also observed for CD59 endogenous to the human E membrane, using functionally blocking antibody against this cell surface protein to selectively abrogate its C5b-9-inhibitory activity. When E bearing human CD59 were exposed to C5b-8hu, CD59 was found to inhibit C5b-9-mediated lysis, regardless of the species of origin of C9, suggesting that the inhibitory function of CD59 can be mediated through recognition of species-specific domains expressed by human C8. Consistent with this interpretation, CD59 was found to bind to C5b-8hu but not to C5b67hu or C5b67huC8gp. Although CD59 failed to inhibit hemolysis mediated by C5b67huC8gpC9gp, its inhibitory function was observed for C5b67huC8gpC9hu, suggesting that, in addition to its interaction with C5b-8hu, CD59 also interacts in a species-selective manner with C9hu incorporated into C5b-9. Consistent with this interpretation, CD59 was found to bind both C5b67huC8gpC9hu and C5b-8huC9gp, but not C5b67huC8gpC9gp. Taken together, these data suggest that the capacity of CD59 to restrict the hemolytic activity of human serum complement involves a species-selective interaction of CD59, which involves binding to both the C8 and C9 components of the membrane attack complex. Although CD59 expresses selectivity for C8 and C9 of human origin, this "homologous restriction" is not absolute, and this human complement regulatory protein retains functional activity toward C8 and C9 of some nonprimate species.

Abstract
To investigate the mechanism of bone changes in hypervitaminosis D3, we compared contact radiographs, microangiograms by injection of Chinese ink, and corresponding histopathologic macrosections of 66 rabbits that received different doses of vitamin D3. In early stages, radiographs showed subperiosteal bone resorption and porotic cortical bone. The corresponding microangiograms showed proliferating vessels in the periosteum and cortical bone with associated dilatation of the Haversian and Volkmann's canals. When metastatic calcification fills these intracortical caverns or the intertrabecular spaces in the metaphysis and physis, the bone shows a diffuse increased density on radiographs. A dense band in the metaphysis reflects a thickening of calcified chondromatrix due to a hypotrophy of the distal metaphyseal capillaries. Six to 12 weeks after vitamin D3 withdrawal, radiographs showed further increased density of the cortical bone, due to newly formed bone and metastatic calcification. Alternating bands of increased and decreased density in the metaphysis and physis reflect the reinvasion of normal vasculature between growth cartilage and calcified chondromatrix, with normalization of endochondral ossification.

Abstract
Muscle tissues from cases of childhood neuromuscular disorders were examined immunohistochemically and immunoelectrophoretically using a monoclonal antibody against the human nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR). Strong NGFR immunoreactivity on the tunica adventitia of blood vessels and proliferating peripheral nerve endings in biopsied muscle specimens from muscular dystrophy patients was observed, but it was almost completely absent in specimens from non-diagnostic controls and cases of other neuromuscular disorders. This suggests a process in the sympathetic nervous system involving blood vessels in muscular dystrophies. Immunoblot analysis failed to show a band corresponding to 70-75 kd, the reported molecular size of the NGFR, but showed a clear band corresponding to 25 kd in muscular dystrophy patients, which is assumed to be a detached amino-terminal domain of the NGFR.

To determine whether or not dystrophin really exists in the outer plexiform layer (OPL) of the retina, we studied control and mdx mice, using four kinds of polyclonal antibodies (DMDP-II, 60 kd, 30 kd and DMDP-IV) against dystrophin. Although control OPL showed a positive immunohistochemical reaction with all four antibodies, mdx OPL showed a positive reaction with DMDP-II and DMDP-IV, a negative reaction with 60 kd and 30 kd antibodies. Immunoblot analysis showed the positive band compatible with the immunohistochemical reaction.

Abstract
Because the pathogenesis of osteosclerosis in hypervitaminosis D is still not well elucidated, the authors experimentally studied hypervitaminosis D3 in 66 rabbits by injecting different doses of vitamin D3. Contact radiographs of bone specimens showed various signs of osteosclerosis, including dense epiphyses and metaphyses, thickened bony articular surfaces, dense metaphyseal bands, modeling defects at the metaphysis, and dense and thickened cortical bone. The corresponding pathologic sections showed that conspicuous metastatic calcification coated the trabeculae and filled bone marrow cavity and caverns in the original but porotic cortical and periosteal new bone. Rather than being resorbed, the metastatic calcifications were embedded in a thick layer of newly formed bone 6 to 14 weeks after vitamin D3 withdrawal. This study suggests that in hypervitaminosis D3, the osteoblasts and bone marrow undergo degeneration, leading to necrosis and calcification. After vitamin D3 withdrawal, osteoblasts reappear and become overactive, leading to overossification.

Abstract
Dental maturity was studied in a group of 903 healthy children (boys: 465, girls: 438) born in Chengudu from 1972 through 1988. Dental maturity was estimated by the method of Demirjian and Goldstein, which is based on the development of seven left mandibular permanent teeth; teeth formation was studied. The standard and curves of dental maturity for Chengdu children (boys and girls) were constructed. At 3-5 years old, boys had their dental maturity slightly earlier than girls; there was no significant difference between boys and girls (P greater than 0.05). At the age of 7-14, girls were more advanced than boys (P less than 0.05). Developmental curves of seven left mandibular permanent teeth were plotted. The sexual difference was smaller at the crown developmental stage, and it increased during the root development. In all, girls were more advanced by 0.45 year than boys. The maximum average difference was 0.85 year for the canine. The time that each developmental stage has taken was shorter in 50% of girls as compared with that in boys, and it was longer in 28% of girls. There was no difference between boys and girls in the remaining 22% of cases.

Abstract
Based on the results of previous investigations that pollen Typhae, a Traditional Chinese Medicine, Had antiatherogenic effects, several components were isolated successively from the drug and their effects on porcine aortic endothelial cell (EC) and smooth muscle cell (SMC) cultures as well as on platelet aggregation were examined. 12 components isolated from Pollen Typhae have been identified on their chemical structures and biological effects. 4 of them showed different evident antiatherogenic effects. 1) Isorhamnetin-3-O-rhamnosyl-glucoside could stimulate EC to produce tPA and PGI2; 2) Quercetin-3-O-neohesperidose could protect EC from injury by fibrin, as well as raise tPA activity; 3) beta-Sitosterol palmitate could inhibit SMC proliferation and 4) beta-Sitosterol glucoside showed an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. These results would provide some information for the search of new drugs in the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis.

This paper observed the relationships among site, dose pathological morphology, pathogenesis, incidence, and diagnostic criteria in retrospectively evaluating 685 cases of chronic radiation-induced lens damage. We conclude that early diagnosis together with protective measures are indispensible to preventing and treating radiation-induced lens damage.

Abstract
A study on pathogen antigen and serodiagnosis of Malleus and Mlioidosis was made with McAbs which are against Ps. mallei or Ps. pseudomallei. The results showed that (1) Ps. mallei and Ps. pseudomallei express different surface antigen types respectively, and there are antigen overlapping in some degree between them; (2) Epitope 2D4 is common to Ps. mallei and Ps. pseudomallei; (3) The antibody which is similar to McAbs 4D4 or 1A9 might be a common serum antibody of Malleus and Melioidosis; and (4) McAb 3A1 is a high specific one which reacts with Ps. pseudomallei only, and with it, it is possible to resolve the immunological problem of distinguishing diagnosis between Malleus and Melioidosis.

Abstract
To analyze phenobarbital-inducible genes in the P450IIC subfamily, fragments of rabbit genomic DNA containing portions of the P450IIC1 and P450IIC4 genes were isolated and the DNA sequences of the 5'-flanking regions and exons were determined and compared to that of the P450IIC2 gene. The sequences have consensus TATA motifs about 20 bp from the mRNA initiation sites as determined by single-strand nuclease mapping and primer extension. Sequences similar to those for proposed liver-specific regulatory factors, HNF-1 and CCAAT, are found in the P450 5'-flanking regions. A glucocorticoid response element is present in the P450IIC2 gene but is not conserved in P450IIC1 or P450IIC4. Other sequences similar to binding sites for AP-1, the octamer binding proteins, and SPH-1 are present. Except for the TATA motif, none of the potential regulatory sequences was conserved at the same location in the different genes. The P450IIC1 and P450IIC2 genes exhibited high similarity detectable by dot matrix analysis throughout the 700 bp of sequenced 5'-flanking region while the P450IIC4 gene exhibited high similarity to both P450IIC1 and P450IIC2 only for about -150 nucleotides from the RNA initiation site. Southern analysis using probes from the 5' region of the P450IIC4 gene suggests that there are at least three closely related members in the P450IIC4 subgroup in agreement with previous studies. After phenobarbital treatment, levels of P450IIC4 mRNA increased about fourfold, as measured by dot blot hybridization with a P450IIC4-specific oligonucleotide probe or by single-strand nuclease mapping of the 5' end of the mRNA, indicating that the P450IIC4 gene characterized in this study is responsive to phenobarbital. Phenobarbital treatment of rabbits increased in vitro transcription of RNA for both the P450IIC1/2 and P450IIC4 gene subgroups but only slightly and transiently for the constitutive P450IIC3 gene.

Abstract
We had reported that Pollen Typhae, a Chinese traditional herbal medicine could reduce atherosclerotic plaque formation in experimental animals. Fraction IV isolated from Pollen Typhae had the ability to raise tPA and PGI2 productions by cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells (EC). In this paper we reported that F.IV was divided chemically into four subfractions named SubF.1-4 among them SubF.2-2 was further separated from SubF.2, and SubF.4-1 from SubF.4. The six subfractions were tested for their effects on the productions of tPA (125I-fibrin plate method) and PGI2(RIA) by porcine endothelial cells. The results showed that SubF.3 could enhance tPA activity and SubF.2-2 could increase PGI2 level. With Chrono-Log 500 Lumi-Aggregometer, SubF.1,2-2 and 3 were found to be able to inhibit platelet aggregation and release reaction. These data indicated that the mechanisms of Pollen Typhae in its antiatherosclerotic effects were multiple which resulted from various biologic effects exerted by various components of this drug. Chemical analyses were performed and their structures were identified, demonstrating that SubF.2-2 was a flavonoid, while SubF.3 was a group of flavonoids, implying there are some antiatherogenic components in flavonoids.

Abstract
The localization of dystrophin was examined immunohistochemically in various tissues from mice and rats as well as from biopsied human muscle specimens, using polyclonal antibodies against dystrophin. Although dystrophin was completely absent in biopsied muscle specimens from 3 male DMD patients, it was faintly observed in the surface membrane of almost all muscle fibers examined in a female DMD patient. In all controls, human and animal, a strong dystrophin reaction was observed in the surface membrane of intrafusal muscle fibers and at the neuromuscular junctions, rather than in the surface membrane of skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers. In addition, dystrophin was clearly localized in the surface membrane of smooth muscle fibers in the viscera, bronchial system, ureter, and tunica media of blood vessels, including arteries and veins, in all examined animal tissues. In mdx mice, dystrophin was absent in almost all muscle and smooth muscle fibers in various tissues and blood vessels. These results suggested a possible systemic dysfunction of smooth muscle layers, especially those of blood vessels, as well as skeletal muscle fibers, due to a deficiency of dystrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Abstract
Synechocystis (PCC 6714) is photoinhibited at low photon flux density when illuminated in medium devoid of Na(+). Photosynthetic activity and variable fluorescence yield were measured in intact cells during the course of inhibition and during recovery from inhibition in order to characterize sequential inhibitory events. Photosystem II antenna chlorophyll becomes functionally disconnected from the reaction center in the first stage of inhibition, although energy is still transferred from phycobilin pigments to the reaction center. This occurs simultaneously with, or subsequent to, the previously observed (J Zhao, JJ Brand [1988] Arch Biochem Biophys 264: 657-664) inactivation of O(2)-evolution units in Na(+)-stressed cells. Addition of Na(+) to the culture medium rapidly restores the O(2)-evolving system, but reassociation of photosystem II antenna chlorophyll is much slower and requires new protein synthesis. A site nearer to the reaction center of photosystem II becomes inactivated in a secondary inhibitory event. Recovery from secondary inhibition occurs slowly and requires protein synthesis. Cells recovering from secondary inhibition produce active photosystem II units with a fully functional complement of antenna chlorophyll. Synechocystis is photoinhibited in complete (Na(+)-containing) medium when illuminated at high photon flux density. These photoinhibited cells exhibit the same recovery behavior as cells at the second stage of inhibition in Na(+)-deficient medium.

Abstract
MPM-2, a monoclonal antibody specific for cells in mitosis, recognizes a family of proteins that share a common phosphorylated epitope. In this study we have shown that during the maturation of Xenopus laevis oocytes induced by progesterone, phosphorylation of MPM-2 antigens coincided with the appearance of MPF activity. When MPM-2 (0.7-1.4 micrograms per oocyte) was injected into oocytes prior to progesterone stimulation, MPF activity failed to appear and induction of maturation was inhibited as judged by both germinal-vesicle breakdown and white-spot formation. Further, MPM-2 was able to neutralize as well as immunodeplete MPF activity from mitotic HeLa cell and mature oocyte extracts. These results suggest that MPM-2 recognizes either MPF itself or a protein(s) that regulates MPF activity and that the kinase that phosphorylates MPM-2 antigens may be a key component in the regulation of M-phase induction.

Abstract
The goal of the present study was to document the intrinsic origin of atrioventricular nodal functional properties (recovery time, facilitation, and fatigue) in two groups of six superfused isolated rabbit heart preparations. These properties were determined from recovery curves (A2H2 versus H1A2 intervals) obtained with previously defined periodic premature stimulation sequences performed before and after autonomic blockade demonstrated effective with the injection of agonists. In group 1 preparations, the muscarinic cholinergic and beta-adrenergic receptors were blocked with atropine (1 mg/L) and propranolol (1 mg/L), respectively. The blockade reduced the facilitation and increased the fatigue by the direct membranous effect of propranolol. To avoid this effect in group 2 preparations, propranolol was replaced by sotalol (5 mg/L), which in combination with atropine altered neither the presence nor the magnitude of the functional properties. These results show that the origin of the three nodal functional properties is independent from the autonomic nervous system.

Abstract
To investigate the functional significance of dystrophin, we studied various tissues of control and mdx mice, and rats immunohistochemically, using anti-dystrophin antibodies. In control animals, we observed the immunohistochemical localization of dystrophin in synaptic regions such as neuromuscular junctions, the cornea and outer plexiform layer of the retina, the taste buds and neurons in the brain, as well as on the surface membrane of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle fibers. In mdx mice, dystrophin was absent from the surface membrane of muscle fibers and the outer plexiform layer of the retina. These results suggest that dystrophin plays an important physiological and/or structural role in the conduction system.

Abstract
An expression system for cell lineage ablation in transgenic mice was constructed in which a modified form of the A subunit of ricin, a toxic lectin produced by the castor bean Ricinus communis, can be expressed under the direction of tissue-specific regulatory signals. A chimeric gene was formed by fusing the promoter and 5'-flanking sequences of the lens-specific mouse alpha A-crystallin gene with a modified ricin A cDNA, and this construction was integrated into the germ line of transgenic mice. These animals develop profound microphthalmia with severe developmental defects of the eye, relating primarily to the disorganization and death of cells forming the lens. In addition, this defect is associated with several abnormalities, including eye size, folding of the retina, and ectopic lens material in other regions of the eye. The phenotype of this engineered developmental mutation suggests that the normal development of alpha A-crystallin-producing lens fiber cells is essential for the proper growth, organization, and orientation of optic structures.

Abstract
Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP), being different from multiple myeloma, is very rare. One case of primary EMP of small intestine and review of literature are presented. The patient, 69-year-old male, was admitted because of left lower abdominal pain and anemia. A mass, table-tennis in size, was palpated. Intestinal obstruction was found by plain X-ray film. It was diagnosed as EMP of small intestine by pathology after exploratory celiotomy. Immunohistochemical stain showed that intracytoplasmic immunoglobulin was monoclonal IgG. Lambda. The blood Bence-Jones protein and bone marrow puncture were negative. The patient received chemotherapy after operation and was followed for two years giving satisfactory result. The pathogenesis, clinical feature, diagnostic criteria and treatment are discussed.

Abstract
Wallace first reported the changes in EEG during transcendental mediation [6]. Banquet [1] observed, on the basis of spectral analysis of the EEG, that the mediation state was a unique state of consciousness, and separate from wakefulness, drowsiness or sleep. The Qi Gong of China is not the same as either transcendental mediation or the Yoga Gong. The EEG during Qi Gong state is clearly different from those recorded during the resting state. The changes in the EEG during the Qi Gong have not been reported previously. The EEG alpha activity during the Qi Gong state occurs predominantly in the anterior regions. The peak frequency of EEG alpha rhythm is slower than the resting state. The change of EEG during Qi Gong between anterior and posterior half is negative correlation. These changes are statistically significant.

Abstract
We have cloned cDNA containing a partial sequence of a rabbit cytochrome P-450 (designated cytochrome P450IIC4) cDNA that is a member of the cytochrome P450IIC subfamily. The cDNA contains 770 bp of which the first 429 code for the C-terminal 143 amino acids of cytochrome P450IIC4. The protein coding region of the cDNA is 98% homologous with that of cytochrome P450IIC5 and the 3' untranslated region is about 90% homologous. In contrast to the constitutive isozyme, cytochrome P450IIC5, mRNA in the liver that hybridized to the 3' untranslated region of cytochrome P450IIC4 cDNA was increased about 8-fold 24 hours after a single injection of phenobarbital.

Abstract
We have designed cosmid vectors for rapid genomic "walking" and restriction mapping. These vectors contain the transcription promoters from either bacteriophage SP6, T7, or T3 flanking a unique BamHI cloning site. Mammalian expression modules encoding the dominant marker neomycin phosphotransferase or the amplifiable dihydrofolate reductase gene expressed from SV40 promoters were inserted for use in gene transfer studies. Restriction sites for the enzymes Not I and Sfi I, which cut mammalian DNA very infrequently, have been engineered near the transcriptional promoters to enable the excision of most inserts as single, full-length fragments. Genomic libraries representative of mouse, human, and hamster genomes were constructed by inserting 33- to 44-kilobase-pair (kbp) DNA fragments, generated by partial cleavage of genomic DNA with Mbo I or Sau3A, into the unique BamHI site. Digestion of recombinant cosmids with restriction enzymes that cleave frequently but do not disrupt the transcriptional promoters generates two small DNA templates for the synthesis of end-specific RNA probes to facilitate directional "walking." Cosmid restriction maps can be determined rapidly by one of several methods. The cosmids and methods we describe should have wide utility in determining the functional and structural organization of complex eukaryotic genomes and for physically linking distant genetic loci.
