  1. Shown are the clinical characteristics of the recurrent glioblastoma AA9, primary breast tumors B421 and S104, ovarian tumor 860, prostate metastasis 25-48, and the breast cancer cell lines MCF7, BT474, and SKBR3 used for bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library construction. Average clone size was determined by pulsed field-gel electrophoresis of Not1-digested DNA from 30 to 100 clones. The presence of a large blood clot in the B421 sample reduced the effective amount of tumor tissue to an estimated 20 mg (out of about 150 mg received from the tumor bank). CMF, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and fluorouracil; kb, kilobases; N/A, number is not applicable for cell lines that can be grown in any amount and whose clinical history is not available; N/D, number not determined.
