PG - 2827-31 AB - We describe a novel strategy characterizing gene amplification in human neoplasia based on targeting double minutes (dmin) and homogeneously staining regions (hsr) for chromosome microdissection. This strategy allows the rapid generation of an amplification unit microclone library and permits the rapid identification of the chromosomal origin of the amplified sequences following fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). This strategy has been applied to an hsr-bearing malignant melanoma cell line, HA-A, which was then demonstrated to encode multiple overexpressed copies of the IGF1R gene. This strategy combines all steps for detection, cloning, mapping and isolation of amplified gene(s) into a single process that is readily applicable to any specimen carrying cytologic evidence of gene amplification.
