Isolation of a yeast artificial chromosome clone that spans the (12;16) translocation breakpoint characteristic of myxoid liposarcoma
(Elsevier, 1992-09)
Cytogenetic analysis of liposarcomas has demonstrated that translocation (12;16) (q13.3;p11.2) is characteristic of the myxoid subtype of this adipose tissue tumor. Our previous results suggested that the GLI gene is close ...

Improved survival in tumor-bearing SCID mice treated with interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10/CXCL10)
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-12)
Tumor growth requires angiogenesis, which in turn requires an imbalance in the presence of angiogenic and angiostatic factors. We have shown that the CXC chemokine family, consisting of members that are either angiogenic ...
