    Notes: Summary A human genomic DNA fragment, p22hom13 (D22S16), was isolated from a chromosome 22-specific library. After elimination of repetitive sequences, a single copy BamHI-EcoRI fragment was subcloned into pTZ18. By using mouse/human somatic cell hybrids and in situ hybridization, the new DNA probe was mapped to chromosome 22q13-qter. Its application in the analysis of the distal part of chromosome 22 and its diagnostic use in translocations are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract DNA amplification is known to occur in approximately 50% of glioblastomas, with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene being the most frequently amplified. Whereas previous amplification studies have largely been limited to the analysis of known tumor-related genes, reverse chromosome painting allows us to search for as yet unidentified amplified domains. Here, we report the analysis of a glioblastoma multiforme by reverse chromosome painting. Hybridization signals were found on chromosome 7p12-13 and chromosome 9q12-13. Standard Southern blot analysis revealed amplification of the EGFR gene, which is localized on band 7p13. These findings corroborate previous reports on coamplification of sequences on different chromosomes in glioblastoma.

    Notes: Abstract Chromosomal mosaicism in chorionic villus samples (CVS) may arise from different sources, such as clonal diversity within the chorionic tissue or contamination with maternal cells. To determine the origin of karyotyped cells, we compared the immunocytochemical features of mitotic cells in CVS long-term cultures with histological sections of their tissue of origin, i.e. chorionic villi. Immunolabelling of intermediate filaments specific for epithelial cells (cytokeratin) and mesenchymal cells (vimentin) established that mitoses yielded from CVS long-term cultures indeed stem from independently growing clones derived from both the epithelial and mesenchymal parts of the chorionic villi. Thus, mosaicism in CVS cultures may reflect true genetic heterogeneity within the biopsy. However, epithelial chorionic cells undergo in vitro metaplasia leading to co-expression of cytokeratins and vimentin. Fetal-specific immune markers (β-HCG and SP1-glycoprotein) are not reliably expressed in CVS cell culture.

    Notes: Summary Human casein kinase 2 alpha gene (CK-2-alpha) sequences have been localized within the human genome by in situ hybridization and somatic cell hybrid analysis using a CK-2 alpha cDNA as a probe. By in situ hybridization, the CK-2 alpha cDNA could be assigned to two different loci, one on 11p15.1-ter and one on 20p13. The existence of two separate chromosomal loci suggests that CK-2 alpha is a member of a gene family. Only the locus on chromosome 11 was confirmed by somatic cell hybrid analysis. The analysis was based on the presence of a CK-2-alpha-specific 20-kb fragment. However, the CK-2 alpha cDNA hybridizes to several additional fragments in total human DNA.

    Notes: Abstract We have recently developed a strategy for the rapid enrichment of c-DNA fragments from selected human chromosomes. Heteronuclear RNA (hn-RNA) is isolated from a somatic cell hybrid that retains a single human chromosome in a rodent background. Following c-DNA synthesis, human sequences are selectively amplified by the Alu polymerase chain reaction (Alu-PCR). Here we have applied this protocol for the selective isolation of novel c-DNAs encoded by chromosome 22. Fluorescence in situ hybridization has been used to confirm the chromosome-22-specific origin of the c-DNA fragments. Controls show DNAse-free RNase-treated hn-RNA results in no c-DNAs or Alu-PCR products. As demonstrated by competitive in situ suppression hybridization (CISS), the majority of the Alu-PCR products from hybrid GM 10027 are located on chromosome 22. Without competition, hybridization signals have also been identified on other human chromosomes. These unspecific hybridization signals result from Alu sequences and can successfully be reduced by competition with cot 1 DNA. This is the first report of the use of CISS for the localization of chromosome-specific c-DNAs.

    Notes: Abstract A recombinant DNA clone localized in the centromeric region of chromosome 22 was isolated from a flow-sorted human chromosome 22 DNA library. When the original insert of about 1.9 kb was used to probe Southern blots of EcoRI-digested genomic DNA it revealed at least 40 fragments. A comparable pattern was obtained with each of the three subclones (800, 700, and 380 bp). In situ hybridization showed signals clustered in the region 22cen. DNA sequence analysis using the 380 bp fragment subcloned in pTZ18/19 (p22hom48.4) revealed eight copies of a 48 bp repeat and the size of hybridizing restriction fragments indicated that this tandemly repeated sequence is spread over a region of a few hundred kilobases. Whereas this novel DNA, termed D22Z3, displayed no sequence homology to rodent and monkey genomes cross-homology was discernible for DNA from two great ape species.

    Notes: Abstract We have employed a strategy for the rapid enrichment of cDNA clones from human chromosome 22 utilizing magnetic beads. Starting from a somatic cell hybrid which retains chromosome 22 in rodent background, heteronuclear (hn) RNA was transcribed into hncDNA using poly dT-primers. Using linker specific primers hncDNA was amplified by PCR. To identify chromosome 22 specific hncDNAs a highly human specific Alu consensus sequence (PD39) was biotinylated and hybridized to the PCR product of the hncDNAs in solution. Hybridized hncDNA-PD39 complexes are captured using streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. Hybridized hncDNAs are selectively amplified by PCR. To verify the chromosome specificity the hncDNA was used as probe forin situ hybridization. Following two rounds of selection with magnetic beads there was an increasingly strong hybridization signal on chromosome 22. The capturing of hncDNAs by magnetic beads as described in this study is faster and more efficient than previously described methods for the isolation of chromosome specific hncDNAs. The novel approach has been employed to generate hncDNAs highly enriched for chromosome 22 specific sequences.
