Abstract excerpt
In order to develop preclinical models of malignant astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas, a series of 54 resected gliomas (37 from oligodendroglial lineage and 17 from astrocytic lineage) were xenografted subcutaneously into nude mice. Molecular alterations commonly observed in gliomas subtypes, including LOH 1p and 1q, LOH 19q, LOH 10p and 10q, LOH 9p, TP53 and PTEN mutations, EGFR amplification, CDKN2A...
