Mh. Dreyling et al., GENERATION OF SMALL INSERT GENOMIC FISH PROBES WITH HIGH SIGNAL INTENSITY SUITABLE FOR DELETION MAPPING, Cytogenetics and cell genetics, 76(3-4), 1997, pp. 202-205
We have developed a method to generate FISH probes from small (2-4 kb)
nonrepetitive genomic restriction fragments. The probes showed a high
hybridization efficiency of up to 90 % in metaphase cells from normal
peripheral blood. With the use of these probes, homozygous as well as
hemizygous 9p deletions were reliably identified in nine leukemia-der
ived cell lines.
