Abstract excerpt
Frequent loss of heterozygosity on the long arm of chromosome 18 is observed in pancreatic cancer. Previous studies suggested the existence of one or more tumor-suppressor genes other than SMAD4 on chromosome 18. To identify the candidate tumor-suppressor gene(s), we compared gene expression by cDNA microarray analyses using a pancreatic cancer cell line Panc-1 and its hybrid cell lines showing suppressed cell...
