Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on 8p occurs at high frequencies in many tumor types, including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). We previously used microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT) into the CRC cell line SW620 to map a approximately 7.7-Mb colorectal cancer-suppressor region (CRCSR) at 8p22-23.1. In the current study, we transferred small fragments of this CRCSR into SW620 to refine the region further. Two...
