RESUMO
Somatic cell hybrids have been constructed between a thymidine kinase-deficient mouse cell line and blood leukocytes from a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia showing the 15q+;17q- chromosome translocation frequently associated with this disease. One hybrid contains the 15q+ translocation chromosome and very little other human material. We have shown that the c-fes oncogene, which has been mapped to chromosome 15, is not present in this hybrid and, therefore, probably is translocated to the 17q- chromosome. Analysis of the genetic markers present in this hybrid has enabled a more precise localization of the translocation breakpoints on chromosomes 15 and 17. Our experiments also have enabled an ordering and more precise mapping of several genetic markers on chromosomes 15 and 17.
