DNA CODING FOR A ZINC FINGER PROTEIN, A ZINC FINGER PROTEIN AND THE USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention concerns DNA coding for a zinc finger protein and a protein of this type. The invention further concerns the use of the DNA and the protein in diagnosis, therapy or gene therapy of tumors. The DNA coding for the zinc finger protein is an insert of the cDNA clone COS AP4-E1. This clone comes from a cDNA library of the cervix carcinoma cell line ME180, which contains the human papilloma virus 68 DNA, and has four zinc fingers in its exon sequences.
