Presence of an Additional Metacentric Chromosome in AKR/TIALD Leukaemic Cells

THE cells of human and murine leukaemias are usually either diploid or very close to diploidy, even when their karyotypes show some specific morphological abnormalities. In a study of spontaneous and transplanted AKR leukaemias, Wakonig-Vaartaja and Stich 1 found that most of the mitoses had a norma...

Zusammenfassung:THE cells of human and murine leukaemias are usually either diploid or very close to diploidy, even when their karyotypes show some specific morphological abnormalities. In a study of spontaneous and transplanted AKR leukaemias, Wakonig-Vaartaja and Stich 1 found that most of the mitoses had a normal diploid set of forty chromosomes although there were forty-one chromosomes in one-third of the cases. Identical observations have been reported by Kurita and Yosida 2 .
