Abstract
Multicolour FISH was used to get insight into the structural arrangement of a homogeneously staining region which bears the co-transfected and subsequently co-amplified IFN-beta and DHFR genes in a CHO cell line. On metaphase chromosomes an arrangement of multiple bands with regular spacing is revealed. On extended chromatin fibres a cluster of directly repeated and interspersed IFN-beta and DHFR genes is visible. Up to three clusters were found arranged in tandem. The different chromosomal mechanisms leading to gene amplification are discussed.Entities:
