cellular
• chromomes from transfected cells display abnormal acetylation and methylation compared to wild-type cells
|
aneuploidy
(
J:86008
)
• rampant aneuploidy occurs in transfected cells in culture
|
polyploidy
(
J:86008
)
• transfected cells show an increase in polyploidy in culture; 30% of cells are polynucleated vs 11% of wild-type
|
• cultured MEFs (mouse embryonic fibroblasts) transfected with a cre retrovirus show dramatic growth arrest and dimished survival compared to wild-type of heterozygous MEFs
