INTRODUCTION
This method uses PCR to amplify and display many cDNAs derived from the mRNAs of a given cell or tissue type. The method relies on two different types of synthetic oligonucleotides: anchored antisense primers and arbitrary sense primers. A typical anchored primer is complementary to approx. 13 nucleotides of the poly(A) tail of mRNA and the adjacent two nucleotides of the transcribed sequence. Anchored primers therefore anneal to the junction between the poly(A) tail and the 3'-untranslated region of mRNA templates, from where they can prime synthesis of first-strand cDNA. A second primer, an arbitrary sequence of approx. 10 nucleotides,
