Involvement of NOR-bearing chromosome in Rb-fusion: evidence from an in vivo murine sarcoma cell line.
The involvement of NOR-bearing chromosome in the formation of two stable and transmissible Robertsonian markers is reported in ascitic form of mouse Sarcoma 180 (S180) adapted in vivo to outbred strain of Swiss albino mice. The chromosomes involved in Robertsonian fusion included t(8;12) and t(16;17).
