Abstract
We have determined the mouse and human chromosomal location of a gene (Zfp-3) that codes for a protein that contains potential DNA zinc-binding fingers. An analysis of the segregation of restriction fragment length polymorphisms in recombinant inbred strains and in an interspecific backcross demonstrated that Zfp-3 is located on mouse chromosome 11. Zfp-3 is very closely linked to the Trp53-1 locus but unlinked to another finger protein gene Zfp-4 located on mouse chromosome 8. In humans ZFP3 has been localized to chromosome 17p12-17pter and thus is part of the conserved linkage group between this chromosome and the distal half of mouse chromosome 11.

Abstract
This paper describes the cloning of an 18-kb sequence present in approximately 30 copies on chromosome 17. Most of these are clustered in the region of the breakpoint associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). These copies map both above and below the breakpoint, and pulsed field gel analysis indicates that the majority of these sequences lie within a region of approximately 2 megabases. The organization of these sequences appears to be that of large imperfect palindromes.

Abstract
The gene coding for the alpha 1 chain of human type XIII collagen. COL13A1, is assigned to chromosome region 10q11----qter by Southern blot hybridization of DNA from 24 human x rodent somatic cell hybrids using a cloned cDNA as probe. A number of previous reports indicate that 10 of the collagen genes are located on six autosomes, but no other collagen genes have been found on chromosome 10. The data therefore provide further evidence for the dispersion of members of the collagen gene family throughout the genome.

Abstract
Human T cell leukemia viruses (HTLV-I and HTLV-II) can infect many cell types in vitro. HTLV-I and HTLV-II use the same cell surface receptor, as shown by interference with syncytium formation and with infection by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) pseudotypes bearing the HTLV envelope glycoproteins. Human-mouse somatic cell hybrids were used to determine which human chromosome was required to confer susceptibility to VSV(HTLV) infection. The only human chromosome common to all susceptible cell hybrids was chromosome 17, and the receptor gene was localized to 17cen-qter. Antibodies to surface antigens known to be determined by genes on 17q did not block the HTLV receptor.

Abstract
We used somatic-cell hybrids, containing as their only human genetic contribution part or all of chromosome 17, as donors for chromosome-mediated gene transfer. A total of 54 independent transfectant clones were isolated and analyzed by use of probes or isoenzymes for greater than 20 loci located on chromosome 17. By combining the data from this chromosome-mediated gene transfer transfectant panel, conventional somatic-cell hybrids containing well-defined breaks on chromosome 17, and in situ hybridization, we propose the following order for these loci: pter-(TP53-RNP2-D17S1)-(MYH2-MYH1)-D17Z 1-CRYB1-(ERBA1-GCSF-NGL)-acute promyelocytic leukemia breakpoint-RNU2-HOX2-(NGFR-COLIAI-MPO)-GAA-UM PH-GHC-TK1-GALK-qter. Using chromosome-mediated gene transfer, we have also regionally localized the random probes D17S6 to D17S19 on chromosome 17.

Abstract
Methods are described for non-invasive, computer-assisted serial scanning throughout the human brain during eight minutes of inhalation of 27%-30% Xenon gas in order to measure local cerebral blood flow (LCBF). Optimized Xenon-enhanced computed tomography (XeCT) was achieved by 5-second scanning at one-minute intervals utilizing a state-of-the-art CT scanner and rapid delivery of Xenon gas via a face mask. Values for local brain-blood partition coefficients (L lambda) measured in vivo were utilized to calculate LCBF values. Previous methods assumed L lambda values to be normal, introducing the risk of systematic errors, because L lambda values differ throughout normal brain and may be altered by disease. Color-coded maps of L lambda and LCBF values were formatted directly onto CT images for exact correlation of function with anatomic and pathologic observations (spatial resolution: 26.5 cubic mm). Results were compared among eight normal volunteers, aged between 50 and 88 years. Mean cortical gray matter blood flow was 46.3 +/- 7.7, for subcortical gray matter was 50.3 +/- 13.2 and for white matter was 18.8 +/- 3.2. Modern CT scanners provide stability, improved signal to noise ratio and minimal radiation scatter. Combining these advantages with rapid Xenon saturation of the blood provides correlations of L lambda and LCBF with images of normal and abnormal brain in a safe, useful and non-invasive manner.

Abstract
The chromosomal location of the human gene coding for both the beta-subunit of prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4HB) and the enzyme disulfide isomerase (PDI) was determined using mouse x human somatic cell hybrids and three different methods for identifying either the human P4HB/PDI protein or the respective gene: (1) immunoblotting with species-specific monoclonal antibodies; (2) radioimmunoassay with species-specific polyclonal antibodies; and (3) Southern blotting after cleavage of the DNA with EcoRI, HindIII, or BamHI, followed by hybridization with a mixture of two cDNA probes for human P4HB. All three methods gave identical data, demonstrating complete cosegregation of the human protein or its gene in all 17 cell hybrids tested with human chromosome 17. A cell hybrid lacking an intact chromosome 17 localized the gene to 17p11----qter.

Abstract
That the sporadic and inherited forms of a particular cancer could both result from mutations in the same gene was first proposed by Knudson. He further proposed that these mutations act recessively at the cellular level, and that both copies of the gene must be lost for the cancer to develop. In sporadic cases both events occur somatically whereas in dominant familial cases susceptibility is inherited through a germline mutation and the cancer develops after a somatic change in the homologous allele. This model has since been substantiated in the case of retinoblastoma, Wilms tumour, acoustic neuroma and several other tumours, in which loss of heterozygosity was shown in tumour material compared to normal tissue from the same patient. The dominantly inherited disorder, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP, also called familial polyposis coli), which gives rise to multiple adenomatous polyps in the colon that have a relatively high probability of progressing to a malignant adenocarcinoma, provides a basis for studying recessive genes in the far more common colorectal carcinomas using this approach. Following a clue as to the location of the FAP gene given by a case report of an individual with an interstitial deletion of chromosome 5q, who had FAP and multiple developmental abnormalities, we have examined sporadic colorectal adenocarcinomas for loss of alleles on chromosome 5. Using a highly polymorphic 'minisatellite' probe which maps to chromosome 5q we have shown that at least 20% of this highly heterogeneous set of tumours lose one of the alleles present in matched normal tissue. This parallels the assignment of the FAP gene to chromosome 5 (see accompanying paper) and suggests that becoming recessive for this gene may be a critical step in the progression of a relatively high proportion of colorectal cancers.

In situ hybridization using the same probe on metaphase chromosomes has enabled fine chromosome mapping of c-erbA2 to the chromosome region 3p21-pter.

Abstract
We present an approach to the construction of an overlapping restriction fragment map of a single human chromosome. A genomic cosmid library genome was constructed from a mouse-human hybrid cell line containing chromosome 17 as its only human genetic component. Cosmids containing human inserts were isolated by hybridisation to a human Alu sequence. DNAs from ninety-six randomly chosen cosmids were digested with either EcoRI or HindIII, end-labelled with 35S-dATP and analysed using agarose gel electrophoresis. Comparison of the restriction fragment patterns revealed two pairs of overlapping clones, that were confirmed by cross-hybridization of the overlapping fragments. The two pairs of cosmids both mapped to human chromosome 17, as shown by hybridization to a panel of somatic cell hybrids. These data demonstrate that the generation of an overlapping cosmid map along a human chromosome is feasible, representing an intermediate step towards the complete sequencing of a human chromosome.

Abstract
Seven phage clones containing human sequences were picked at random from a human genomic library cloned in Charon 4A. The clones are devoid of repetitive sequences and can be used to recognize restriction fragment length polymorphisms (Feder et al. 1985). The chromosomal locations of the sequences defined by the seven clones have been determined by Southern blotting and DNA hybridization to DNA from human-mouse somatic cell hybrids. The chromosomal assignment of these sequences should increase their value as genetic markers in family studies.
