The murine cytokine inducible SH2-containing (Cis) protein gene (Cish)
was recently cloned and shown to have a growth inhibitory function. W
e have isolated cDNAs coding for its human homologue (CISH) and assign
ed the gene to 3p21.3 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Northern
blot analysis showed CISH expression in various epithelial tissues inc
luding lung and kidney, in which tumors frequently exhibit 3p21.3 dele
tions.
