Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and alterations in microsatellite DNA markers have been reported in bladder-cancer tumors. We have studied, in a blinded fashion, using PCRbased microsatellite analysis, genetic alterations of cells exfoliated in urine of 59 Caucasian patients and control patients; 31 wi

## Background: Telomerase is an enzyme that can reconstitute the ends (telomeres) of chromosomes after cell division and thus circumvent the cumulative damage that occurs in normal adult somatic cells during successive mitotic cycles. recently, it has been proposed that this enzyme should, therefor

A permanent cell line, U-BLC1, was established from a primary transitional-cell carcinoma, TCC, of the urinary bladder. Karyotype analysis showed the line to be highly aberrant, with a near-triploid chromosome number of 68 to 73. Comparative genomic hybridization revealed some distinct differences b
The bladder cancer cell line BK-10 was established from a grade III-IV transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). BK-10 is near-tetraploid (ฯฎ4n) and consists of two subclones with 20-25 structural aberrations. Here we report the cytogenetic analysis of BK-10 by G-banding, spectral karyotyping (SKY), and FIS
