Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the MTS1 (p16) tumor suppressor gene has been reported to occur frequently in thyroid cancer cell lines. In order to determine the frequency of LOH for these multiple tumor suppressor genes, we used microsatellite markers IFNA and D9S171 to perform differential quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Tumor DNA was isolated from native sections of tumor tissue. Control DNA was...
