## Abstract Identification of a homozygous deletion in cancer cells provides strong evidence for the location of a tumor suppressor gene (TSG). We analyzed the 2p24 homozygous deletion of a nonβsmallβcell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line, NCIβH2882, and found that the deletion size was 3.7 Mbp. Since
Progression through the mammalian cell cycle is controlled by a series of cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks) and cdk inhibitors. Cyclin D1, cdk4 and the tumour suppressors p16 and retinoblastoma protein (pRb) are thought to comprise a linked system governing cell passage through the G 1 phase
The frequent occurrence of 21q deletions in human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) indicates the presence of a tumor suppressor gene on this chromosome arm. Since the ANA (Abundant in Neuroepithelium Area) gene, a member of an antiproliferative gene family, was mapped to 21q11.2-q21.1, we searc
