Abstract excerpt
Studies of osteosarcoma cell lines or frozen tissue have detected loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the retinoblastoma (RB) locus by Southern blot analysis or restriction fragment length polymorphism. Most archived clinical specimens cannot be analyzed by these techniques. We analyzed formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples from 19 cases of osteosarcoma for molecular changes at the RB locus using polymerase chain...
