Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence obtained by in situ hybridization indicates that chromosomal region 17q is often lost in prostate tumors. To substantiate the presence of tumor suppressor genes in this chromosomal region, normal human 17q tagged with a neomycin resistance gene was transferred into a human prostate cancer cell line, PPC-1, by microcell-mediated chromosome transfer. Two hybrid clones were obtained, both of which...
