Abstract excerpt
The t(3;9)(p14;p21) in the MCF10A human mammary gland epithelial cell line was the single cytogenetic event that accompanied the transition from primary culture to immortalized cell line, suggesting that it is related to the development of the immortalization phenotype. To study the molecular consequences of the breakpoints in this rearrangement, we used a combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)...
