Abstract excerpt
Amplification of oncogenes has been found to be an important prognostic factor in behavior of patients' malignancies. In this study we have used new gel electrophoresis techniques to follow the location of amplified c-myc oncogene sequences in HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. In passages 46-62 of the cells, the cells contain amplified c-myc sequences on submicroscopic circular extrachromosomal DNA (episomes)....
