β¦ Synopsis
The effects of different swelling solutions on the univariate flow karyotype of whole chinese hamster embryo cells (WCHE K10) and cloned Chinese hamster embryo fibroblast cells (CCHE 40) were compared using four methods of chromosome isolation. Chromosomes of each cell line were prepared by the Aten, Polyamine-Digitonin, Tris-Triton, and HEPES methods and analyzed with a FACStar flow cytometer. Polyamine-Digitonin and Aten methods produced the most satisfactory flow karyotype. Structurally aberrant chromosomes in the cell lines were detected in the flow karyotype as extra peaks. CCHE 40 chromosomes 1,2,X and 3q were sorted into separate tubes and reanalyzed; and the coefficient of variation of each chromosome peak was near 5%. To apply the flow karyotype analysis to clinical cytogenetics, chromosome preparation was one of the most important factor, and it is necessary to sort the chromosome peak sharply. o 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc

## Abstract Chinese hamster cells of an established clone line grown in monolayers were incubated for up to two hours with either lucanthone (0.3β30 mΜg/ ml) or actinomycin D (0.06β0.10 mΜg/ml) and subjected to radioautographic investigations with ^3^Hβuridine during the period of treatment. At co
We have isolated a human cDNA encoding a 115-amino-acid polypeptide that revealed 97% identity to a candidate tumor suppressor gene for oral cancer in Mesocricetus auratus (deleted in oral cancer-1; doc-1). It also showed a high degree of homology to a gene induced by TNF-β£ in Mus musculus. To inves
