Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the short arm of chromosome 8 occurs frequently in breast tumors. Fine mapping of the smallest regions of overlap of the deletions indicates that multiple tumor suppressor genes may be located in this region. We have performed microcell-mediated chromosome transfer of chromosome 8 into two breast cancer cell lines, 21MT-1 and T-47D. Twenty-two of the resulting hybrids were...
