Search for unknown tumor‐antagonizing genes

Abstract excerpt

Following the ingenious prediction of Alfred Knudson in 1971, the first tumor suppressor gene, RB1, has been isolated. Its product, the RB1 protein, was found to play a major role in the control of the cell cycle. The loss of heterozygosity (LOH) technique, introduced by Cavenee and colleagues, was an important milestone toward the confirmation of Knudson's hypothesis and the identification of the gene....
