title: [Polymorphism of B1-associated DNA fragments on various stages of ontogenesis of mice in tissues of different histogenesis].
abstract: Pattern of B1-associated DNA fragments was studied by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the mouse tissues of different histogenesis of 15 and 20 day old embryos and of adult mice C57B1/6. As many as 20 DNA fragments were revealed on electrophoregrams differing in their molecular masses (m. m.) and amounts of amplified products. DNA fragments varied within a 100-10,000 bp range. The clusters of B1-associated DNA fragments, containing 100-200, 300-400 and 800-1000 bp, were most intensive in all studied electrophoregrams. The B1-associated DNA fragments from muscles of adult mice differed from those of other tissues by the presence of a DNA fragment with 800 bp. A comparative analysis of the spectra of B1-associated DNA fragments from hepatocytes of two inbred strains, C57B1/6 and C3HA, has shown their general similarities in m. m. values. But a significant distinction, that was found, involved the presence of a DNA fragment with m. m. approximately 6000 bp in the spectra of B1-associated DNA fragments from C3HA strain mice, that is absent in the spectra of respective fragments from hepatocytes of C57B1/6 strain mice. The obtained results allow to use the B1-PCR method for studying genome recombination during ontogenesis, intraspecies divergence and also at malignant cell transformation.
