To extend the results of conventional cytogenetic analysis of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), we applied the new molecular cytogenetic method of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), which enables the detection of chromosomal imbalances without the need for dividing cells. DNA from I I TGCTs
A protocol for comparative genomic hybridization by use of nucleotides directly labeled with fluorochromes was used to map regions of deletion and amplification in ten glioma cell lines. The protocol greatly reduced experimental artifacts. W e detected several genetic aberrations, including whole ch
## Abstract Since the introduction of cisplatin into the clinic, the treatment of patients with a variety of solid tumors including testicular germ cell tumors, ovarian and lung cancers, has dramatically improved. One of the main causes for therapeutic failure in these malignancies is the developme
