A photometric study of the standard Philadelphia (Ph1) translocation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). 1982

A W Wayne, and J C Sharp

A newly developed form of high resolution microscope photometry has been employed in a study of the relationships between the chromosomes involved in the standard Philadelphia (Ph1) translocation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The intention of the investigation was to provide quantitative data on the relative amount of material exchanged between the No. 9 and No. 22 chromosomes. A marked consistency in the amount of material lost from the Ph1 was observed, and the balanced nature of the standard Ph1 translocation was confirmed. The data are also in accordance with the concept of a reciprocal exchange between the No. 9 and No. 22 chromosomes.

D007951	Leukemia, Myeloid	Form of leukemia characterized by an uncontrolled proliferation of the myeloid lineage and their precursors (MYELOID PROGENITOR CELLS) in the bone marrow and other sites.

D008853	Microscopy	The use of instrumentation and techniques for visualizing material and details that cannot be seen by the unaided eye. It is usually done by enlarging images, transmitted by light or electron beams, with optical or magnetic lenses that magnify the entire image field. With scanning microscopy, images are generated by collecting output from the specimen in a point-by-point fashion, on a magnified scale, as it is scanned by a narrow beam of light or electrons, a laser, a conductive probe, or a topographical probe.

D002871	Chromosome Banding	Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping.
