In a blind study, chromosome aberrations in tumor cells were analyzed by conventional cytogenetic techniques (G banding) and nonradioactive in situ hybridization with chromosome-specific probes. The material was obtained directly from patients with hematologic diseases and from colon tumor derived cell lines. The cytogenetic data obtained with G banding were in accord with those obtained by in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes. Most importantly, in situ hybridization to interphase nuclei gave reliable results and even allowed detection of cell subpopulations that were not detected by analyzing metaphase chromosomes. Furthermore, in retrospect, even structural aberrations could be detected in interphase nuclei; abnormal cells with either an i(1q) or a translocation der(1)t(1;7) could be identified. Our results show that the application of in situ hybridization in combination with routine cytogenetic techniques offers significant advantages for cytogenetic analysis of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007399 Interphase The interval between two successive CELL DIVISIONS during which the CHROMOSOMES are not individually distinguishable. It is composed of the G phases (G1 PHASE; G0 PHASE; G2 PHASE) and S PHASE (when DNA replication occurs). Interphases
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
