A 514-base pair fragment of double-stranded DNA coding for human interferon-.alpha.1 (166 amino acid residues), and containing initiation and termination signals plus appropriate restriction enzyme sites for plasmid insertion, was totally synthesized. The synthesis involved preparation of 66 oligodeoxyribonucleotides, ranging in size from 14-21 residues, plus 1 deoxydecanucleotide, by rapid, solid-phase procedures and enzymatic ligation of the oligonucleotides. After ligation of the synthetic gene to a plasmid vector and transformation of Escherichia coli, clones containing the anticipated gene sequence were obtained.
