METHODS. cDNA library was obtained in one glioma cell line which highly expressed this protein and screening was performed using VDR monoclonal antibody. This partial cDNA was then subcloned into pcDNA3.1 and sequencing was performed. This partial cDNA sequence also was used as a probe to identify mRNA, which encodes for this putative gene. To characterize this 220-Kd protein, we have used five cell lines as follows: Glioma 1, U118, SW1783, which possess variable amount of 220-Kd protein, and U-373 and T-98G which lack this 220-Kd protein.
