## Abstract During the course of a multifaceted study of clonality in murine neoplasms we observed two Bโlymphoid malignancies. Results of studies with the Xโchromosomeโlinked enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase strongly suggest that these tumors had a clonal origin. Each of them had trisomy 15. This ch

Abstract
Gโbanding analyses of 14 independently derived Bโcell lymphomas showed the frequent occurrence of chromosome 15 trisomy. It was present in seven of nine spontaneous Bโcell lymphomas, but in company with other trisomies, monosomies and marker chromosomes. In five carcinogenโinduced primary Bโcell leukemias, trisomy 15 was the dominating change. Taken together with the previously demonstrated importance of chromosome 15 trisomy for Tโcell leukemogenesis and of the 12;15 translocation in plasmacytogenesis in the mouse, it appears likely that the distal part of chromosome 15 carries a cluster of genes, perhaps a supergene region, that may play an important role in the differentiation and/or the normal responsiveness of various lymphoreticular cell types to growth control.

Trisomy 15 is the most common chromosomal aberration in murine T-cell lymphomas. The relevant chromosomal region responsible for the growth advantage of the 15-trisomic cell has not been defined. In order to map this region, we have induced thymic lymphomas by chemical carcinogens (DMBA or MNU) in m
We performed a cytogenetic study on 16 murine mature B-cell lymphomas and 10 T-cell lymphomas, using G-banding techniques. All tumors, with the exception of 3 spontaneous 6-cell tumors, were induced by various slowly transforming murine leukemia viruses (MuLV). Metaphases were obtained from primary
## Abstract Trisomy 15, known to be the predominant chromosome abnormality in leukemic cells of the AKR strain, develops even in animals of the subline AKR/RblAld with two constitutive Robertsonian translocation chromosomes (6.15). Among 10 leukemic animals of this subline exhibiting chromosomal an
## Abstract The banding pattern of DMBAโinduced leukemias in C57BL/6 mice revealed a very constant chromosome pattern: the presence of trisomy 15 in almost all leukemic cells. This finding strongly suggests that chromosome 15 trisomy is the first detectable specific chromosome change associated wit
