METHODSBlood (100 or 500 ml) from healthy human donors was filtered with a high performance filter (RCZL, Pall) to remove leukocytes and washed six times in saline solution. Messenger RNA was extracted, as previously described. 3 Briefly, red cells were lysed, ribonucleoproteins precipitated, total RNA extracted, and m-RNA isolated (Oligotex, Qiagen). A typical yield was 250 μg of total RNA per 500 ml blood. Messenger RNA was reverse transcribed with Superscript II (Gibco BRL) using either oligo-dT or random hexanucleotide primers or a mixture of both. In some preparations, single-stranded cDNA was treated with RNase H, and primers were removed (QIAquick, Qiagen). Approximately 5 ng of single-stranded cDNA were used per PCR reaction. Typically, the following PCR conditions were used: denaturation for 1 minute at 94 C, annealing for 1 minute at 55–65 C, and extension for 1 minute at 72 C, 40 amplification cycles. T able 2 shows the primers used. PCR products were analyzed on agarose gel, appropriate bands excised, and DNA extracted (QIAquick), subcloned (pGEM, Promega), and sequenced (Sequenase II, Amersham).RESULTSTo detect any α isoform, reticulocyte single-stranded cDNA was used as a template for PCR with primers from highly conserved areas of the α subunit (T able 2). Products from more than 10 different PCR reactions were sequenced. Only the α 1 isoform or sequences with no homology to the Na, K-ATPase were found. We also used PCR with primers specific for the α2, α3, and α4 isoforms and found no evidence of these isforms in our preparation. We therefore conclude that only the α 1 isoform is expressed in significant amounts in red blood cells.
