Porcine luteal cells express monocyte chemoattractant protein-2 (MCP-2): analysis by cDNA cloning and northern analysis.

From an expression library in lambda UniZAP, derived from porcine corpus luteum ( CL), a clone lambda MCP9 was detected by hybridization with a porcine MCP-1 specific probe. A pBluescriptSK-derivative pMCP9 was generated from lambda MCP9 by in vivo excision and was shown to contain an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a protein highly homologous to bovine monocyte chemoattractant protein-2 (MCP-2). Comparison of amino acid sequences of known MCPs identified the protein encoded by pMCP9 as porcine MPC-2. The 3' untranslated region of pMCP9 was completed by 3' RACE. Northern analysis using RNA from porcine luteal cells and probes specific for porcine MCP-1 and MCP-2 revealed that porcine luteal cells express both MCPs. According to Southern analysis MCP-2, like MCP-1, is specified by a single copy gene.[1]
