Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) immortality is associated with p53 and INK4A dysfunction, high levels of telomerase and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of other chromosomes, including chromosome 4. To test for a functional cancer mortality gene on human chromosome 4 we introduced a complete or fragmented copy of the chromosome into SCC lines by microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT). Human chromosome 4 caused a...
