Abstract
A human fibrosarcoma line, HT1080-6TG, with a near diploid number of chromosomes, has an average of 7.3 chromosomes with an Ag-stained nucleolus organizer region (NOR). Cells of this line with an increased number of chromosomes have an increased number of Ag-stained NORs. This cell line has been used as the human parent in constructing mouse-human and rat-human hybrids that segregate rodent chromosomes. The hybrid ccell lines, which have 100 or more chromosomes per cell, show a proportionate increase in the number of Ag-stained NORs (means, 11.4--16.8). The frequency of association of acrocentric chromosomes increases in a similar fashion. There is no evidence of inactivation of human NORs in these cells.
