Table 2. Quantitation of chromosomal abnormalities in metaphase spreads from three independently derived cancer cell lines from Sprr2f-Cre; Pot1aL/L; p53L/L mice.

  # Metaphase anomalies % Normal metaphase % Aberration metaphases % Cells w/breaks % Cells w/fusions Fusion/metaphase % Poly/tetraploid c-anaphase
#1 45 15.5 20 4.4 13.3 0.18 66.7 15.5
#2 36 13.9 22.2 5.5 19.4 0.25 77.8 2.8
#3 32 0 100 12.5 100 3.9 84.4 0

The data reveal that most cells harbor significant abnormalities.
