Abstract

Disclosed is an in vitro process for synthesizing DNA encoding a family of antigen-combining proteins. This process involves obtaining DNA containing genes encoding antigen-combining proteins and then combining these genes with sequence specific primers. These primers can be oligonucleotides homologous to conserved regions of the genes. The genes and primers are then subjected to sequence specific gene amplification.
