Abstract

G-banding analysis was carried out on T-cell leukemias induced in various Robertsonian mice by 7,12 dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA), N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU), or Moloney virus. Trisomy 15 was the only regularly seen chromosome aberration whether chromosome No. 15 was involved in a centric fusion or not. Translocated No. 15 chromosomes were not preferentially duplicated. These results show that it is not the translocated state of chromosome No. 15 but the genetic content that is of importance in leukemia development.
