“…The MYLK 3 and MYLKP sequences (referred to henceforth as MLCK and pMLCK, which are the usual literature names) were subregionally mapped on chromosome 3 by PCR-typing a chromosome-3 mapping panel consisting of cell line DNAs containing different portions of human chromosome 3 (Coriell Institute, Camden, NJ, (Leonard et al, 1997)). Twenty-five-microliter PCRs were performed on 40 ng of DNA using the primer set MLCK3ar (5Ј TGA ACT TGG TGG TCT TGA GG 3Ј) and MLCK3bf (5Ј ATG GAT CTC CGT GCC AAC C 3Ј) in a buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.3), 50 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 , 0.001% (w/v) gelatin, 0.2 mM each deoxyribonucleotide, 1 M each primer, and 0.625 U of Taq DNA polymerase (Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd.).…”
