  • bcl-1 locus nucleic acid probes and assay methods
    Patent number: 6127118
    Abstract: Nucleic acid probes substantially complementary to nucleic acid sequences within the bcl-1 locus are disclosed as well as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers substantially complementary to nucleic acid sequences within that locus that are useful in detecting t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocations associated with hematopoietic cancers. Further, the bcl-1 locus probes are useful in detecting bcl-1 amplifications found in about twenty percent of solid tumors, particularly in squamous cell and mammary carcinomas. Diagnostic/prognostic methods for cancer are disclosed, as well as cancer research methods using the bcl-1 probes of this invention.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 1997
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2000
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventor: Timothy C. Meeker
