Abstract excerpt
Double minute chromosomes (DMs) are a hallmark of gene amplification. The relationship between the formation of DMs and the amplification of DM-carried genes remains to be clarified. The human colorectal cancer cell line NCI-H716 and human malignant primitive neuroectodermal tumor cell line SK-PN-DW are known to contain many DMs. To examine the amplification of DM-carried genes in tumor cells, we performed...
