Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for isolating and identifying the nucleotide sequence of the human gene for the type IV collagen &agr;5(IV) chain. The present invention is directed to the determination of the nucleotide sequence of the gene for the &agr;5(IV) collagen chain in individuals by any method known to the art, e.g. cloning from genomic DNA libraries or amplifying gene regions with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and studying their physical properties or nucleotide sequences. In addition, the invention is directed to the use of the nucleotide sequences of the &agr;5(IV) gene to amplify or identify the nucleotide sequences of the &agr;5(IV) gene.
