Description:
We report the regional mapping of the thymidine kinase (tk-1) gene in the mouse using two complementary analyses: 1) investigation of chromosome aberrations associated with tx-1 gene inactivation in the L5178Y TX+/-3.7.2c cell line and (2) in situ molecular hybridization of a cloned tk-1 cDNA probe to mitotic chromosomes of this cell line. he consensus location for both analyses is 11B2-C1. omparison of the mouse tk-1 gene localization with evidence that the homologous TX-I gene is located distally on the large arm of chromosome 17 appears to extend the region of homology between MMU11 and HSA17 to include the distal segments of both.
