“…Previous investigations have used the technique of monochromosome transfer to induce proliferation arrest in human and rodent cancer lines (Ning et al, 1991;Wang et al, 1992;Casey et al, 1993;Koi et al, 1993;Ogata et al, 1993;Hensler et al, 1994;Rimessi et al, 1994;Sandhu et al, 1994Sandhu et al, , 1996Sasaki et al, 1994;Uejima et al, 1995;England et al, 1996;Karlsson et al, 1996;Banga et al, 1997;Robertson et al, 1998;Cuthbert et al, 1999;Steenbergen et al, 2001) and have attempted to identify the genes responsible by the extensive deletion analysis of segregant colonies that continue to proliferate (see for example, Rimessi et al, 1994;England et al, 1996;Karlsson et al, 1996;Robertson et al, 1998;Cuthbert et al, 1999;Forsyth et al, 2002). These studies have shown that, in some instances, the commonly deleted regions contain known antiproliferative genes (England et al, 1996;Robertson et al, 1998) or tumour suppressor genes (Cheng et al, 1998;Lo et al, 2001).…”
