Analysis of chromosomal aberrations involving chromosome 1q31→q53 in a DMBA-induced rat fibrosarcoma cell line: amplification and overexpression of <i>Jak2</i>

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2001
In a study of DMBA-induced rat fibrosarcomas we repeatedly found deletions and/or amplifications in the long arm of rat chromosome 1 (RNO1). Comparative genome hybridization showed that there was amplification involving RNO1q31→q53 in one of the DMBA-induced rat fibrosarcoma tumors (LB31) and a cell culture derived from it.
