Trisomy of chromosome 15 is a highly regular feature of murine T-cell leukemogenesis. We have studied the chromosomal constitution of 7,12-dimethylbenza(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced T-cell leukemias in C57BL X CBAT6T6 F1 mice. The CBAT6T6-derived chromosome T(14:15)6 was regularly duplicated whereas the C57BL-derived normal chromosome 15 was only present in one copy. It was concluded that the gene(s) that tend to duplicate in parallel with the neoplastic transformation of the prothymocyte to an overt leukemic cell have a greater chance of duplicating and/or may have a stronger promoting effect on leukemogenesis if stronger promoting effect on leukemogenesis if located on the CBA-derived, structurally rearranged T(14:15)6 than the corresponding genes located on the C57BL-derived normal chromosome 15.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
