Abstract excerpt
Extinction of tissue-specific traits in intertypic somatic cell hybrids is a well-known phenomenon. In the past few years, microcell hybrids have been used in attempts to dissect this phenotype genetically, and tissue-specific extinguisher loci have been mapped to two different mouse chromosomes. When transferred from fibroblast into hepatoma cells by microcell fusion, these loci down-regulate expression of...
