Samples from 34 primary transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) of the bladder were short-term-cultured and processed for cytogenetic analysis after G-banding of the chromosomes. Clonal chromosome abnormalities were detected in 27 tumors and normal karyotypes in 3, and the cultures from 4 tumors failed

The expression of transferrin receptors (TFR) by normal and neoplastic urothelial cells was studied in "control" patients and in patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. These tumours were graded independently and consisted of 19 grade I, 30 grade II and 19 grade III lesions. TFRs w
Human genes MAG€-I and MAG€-3 code for distinct antigens, which are recognized on melanoma cells by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL). These antigens may constitute useful targets for anti-cancer immunotherapy, since no expression of MAGE genes has been observed in normal tissues other than t
Galectin-1 and galectin-3 are galactoside-binding proteins involved in different steps of tumor progression and potential targets for therapy. We have investigated the expression of these galectins in 38 human bladder transitional-cell carcinomas of different histological grade and clinical stage an
Microsatellites may show loss of heterozygosity as well as instability of the repeats. We examined 22 different microsatellites in 14 bladder tumours (7 grade II non-invasive, 7 grade III/IV invasive) and found altered CA repeat length compared with leukocytes, indicating instability, in several mic
