Abstract excerpt
We employed the arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR), which is a PCR-based genomic fingerprinting technique, to detect novel genetic alterations in human astrocytomas. DNA fingerprints generated by arbitrary primers were compared in normal lymphocytes and tumor tissues from the same individuals. We cloned and sequenced an AP-PCR band showing a greatly decreased intensity in tumor tissue DNA,...
