Journal ArticleDOI
In situ hybridization with fluoresceinated DNA
TL;DR: Combination of fluoresceinated DNA with biotinated and digoxigeninated DNAs allowed easy performance of triple fluorescence in situ hybridization and the potential for DNA mapping, cytogenetics and biological dosimetry is briefly discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the DNA content and ploidy of trypanosomes.
TL;DR: The data indicate that T. brucei is diploid, and no sub-population of haploid cells was observed in T. Brucei grown in rats or in culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of chromosome aberrations in interphase tumor nuclei by nonradioactive in situ hybridization.
Petra M. Nederlof,Silvia van der Flier,Anton K. Raap,Hans J. Tanke,Mels van der Ploeg,Frank H.A.C. Kornips,Joep P.M. Geraedts +6 more
TL;DR: In a blind study, chromosome aberrations in tumor cells were analyzed by conventional cytogenetic techniques (G banding) and nonradioactive in situ hybridization with chromosome-specific probes and gave reliable results and allowed detection of cell subpopulations that were not detected by analyzing metaphase chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interphase cytogenetics of brain tumors.
E.P.J. Arnoldus,I.A. Noordermeer,A. C. Boudewijn Peters,J. H. C. Voormolen,Gerard Th. A. M. Bots,Anton K. Raap,Mels van der Ploeg +6 more
TL;DR: The results show the value of interphase cytogenetics for the analysis of solid tumors for which it is relatively difficult to obtain sufficient metaphases of good quality for conventional cytogenetic analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific metaphase and interphase detection of the breakpoint region in 8q24 of Burkitt lymphoma cells by triple-color fluorescence in situ hybridization
Thomas Ried,Christoph Lengauer,Thomas Cremer,Joop Wiegant,Anton K. Raap,Mels van der Ploeg,Peter Groitl,Martin Lipp +7 more
TL;DR: Triple fluorescence in situ hybridization with a plasmid DNA library from sorted human chromosomes 8 in combination with bacteriophage clones flanking the break point in 8q24 of the Burkitt lymphoma cell line Jl was used for the specific delineation of this breakpoint in individual tumor cells.
