Abstract

Trypsin-Giemsa banding studies on T cell leukemias induced in Robertsonian translocation mice by dimethylbenz[a]anthracene and Moloney leukemia virus show a trisomy of chromosome 15 even in cases in which chromosome 15 has undergone centromeric fusion with chromosomes 1, 5, or 6. These results suggest that the duplication of gene(s) located on chromosome 15 is of critical importance for murine T cell leukemia development.
