Abstract excerpt
The introduction of normal chromosomes into tumor cells by microcell fusion-mediated transfer is a powerful technique to identify putative tumor suppressor genes. We have used this approach to independently transfer human chromosomes 3 and 12 into a human prostate cancer cell line, DU 145. We showed that while the extra copy of chromosome 3 had no effect on the in vivo tumorigenicity of these cells, microcell...
