ABSTRACT:
A biochemical procedure for identification and characterization of cells in a biopsy or sample of a body fluid. The method can be used to determine cell type, i.e. epidermal, neuronal; tissue of origin, i.e. breast tissue, liver tissue; and degree of abnormality. The procedure can also be used to make antibodies and hybridization probes to detect cell or tissue specific antigens and nuclear matrix associated nucleic acids in cellular material and body fluids.
The procedure is based on the isolation and analysis of the components of a specific subcellular protein fraction referred to here as the "nuclear matrix". The nuclear matrix includes proteins and nuclear matrix associated DNA specific to different cell types. These proteins and nucleic acids are altered or new ones expressed as a result of viral infection, genetic defects or malignancy.
The method has a number of important clinical applications in determining tissue type, tissue of origin, degree of malignancy and extent of metastasis in cancer patients; in detecting and analyzing chromosomal deficiencies or genetic defects, especially in cells obtained by amniocentesis; in identifying viral or other infections; and in measuring the extent and location of cell damage, particularly in patients with localized cell damage or autoimmune disease. The isolated nuclear matrix proteins are also useful in screening for drugs binding to and affecting the nuclear matrix.
