Abstract
A transforming sequence was identified using co-transfection of DNA from the human mammary carcinoma cell line MCF-7 and of a G418 resistance gene into NIH 3T3 cells, followed by tumor formation in athymic mice. This sequence, named mcf.2, was molecularly cloned. A transforming activity resides in a cosmid clone of 42 kb. mcf.2 did not cross-hybridize with the known oncogenes tested. In situ hybridization localized it on the X chromosome, probably at q27. This localization was confirmed by hybridization to a panel of human--rodent cell line DNAs.
