β¦ Synopsis
A new mapping system, based on nonisotopic in situ hybridization combined with fluorescent staining of replicated prometaphase R-bands, is described. Replication of the bands is achieved by treatment of thymidine-synchronized cells with bromodeoxyuridine. The human COL2A1 gene was mapped to band 12q13.11-q13.12 in this manner, to illustrate the potential of the technique for improving the precision of chromosomal mapping and physical ordering of genes.

## Abstract Oligonucleotide probes have been used to map the myeloperoxidase (__MPO__) gene locus to chromosome bands 17q21β22. This is in agreement with results reported using conventional cDNA probes. No evidence for the existence of a second __MPO__ gene locus was obtained. Six synthetic 72βbase
PTH and PTHrP have been shown to inhibit maturation of growth plate chondrocytes and the expression of type X collagen. In order to examine the regulatory mechanisms involved, fetal bovine growth plate chondrocytes were incubated for 24-48 h under serum-free conditions with PTH and PTHrP and various
