title: Cytogenetic characterization of Chinese hamster-sheep somatic cell hybrids.
abstract: The methods used to characterize cytogenetically Chinese hamster x sheep somatic cell hybrids have been reported. G and C banding patterns on hybrid metaphases allowed the discrimination between hamster and sheep chromosomes, and in addition to establish the unidirectional loss of sheep chromosomes in hybrid cells.
