The band patterns of twelve D 98/AH-2 marker chromosomes and their use for identification of intraspecific cell hybrids (original) (raw)

Abstract

The chromosomal complement of the human cell line D98/AH-2 has been studied by quinacrine mustard and trypsin Giemsa banding techniques. The dispersion of chromosome counts has been shown to be due to non-random variation involving mainly a few particular chromosomes. — Twelve different marker chromosomes could be distinguished and the presumptive derivation of most of their chromosomal material from normal human chromosomes has been determined. Most cells in 6 different hybrid clones derived from fusion of D98/AH-2 cells with skin fibroblasts from a cystinotic patient contained a single copy of each marker chromosome.
