TL;DR
Southern blot analysis of human genomic DNA digested with different restriction enzymes strongly suggests the existence of a multigene family for cyclophilin.
Abstract
Complementary DNA encoding human cyclophilin, a specific cyclosporin A-binding protein, has been isolated from the leukemic T-cell line Jurkat and sequenced. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence with the previously determined sequence of bovine thymus cyclophilin reveals only three differences: an additional amino acid at the carboxy terminus end and two internal changes. RNA transfer blot analysis indicates an mRNA size of approximately 1 kb for human T-cell cyclophilin. Phytohaemagglutinin and phorbol myristate acetate induction of T cells treated or not with cyclosporin A affects only marginally the level of cyclophilin mRNA. Southern blot analysis of human genomic DNA digested with different restriction enzymes strongly suggests the existence of a multigene family for cyclophilin.

The cyclosporins were originally discovered in 1970 by workers at Sandoz Ltd. in Switzerland who were attempting to identify new antifungal agents but appeared to be selective in its immunosuppressive effects because it had no effect on the survival of mice that had been inoculated with the L1210 leukemia line.
