ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates, in general, to a method of diagnosing tumorigenic mammalian cells or the propensity of a mammalian cell to become tumorigenetic. Additionally, the present invention relates to a cloned cDNA or genomic DNA for reducing the propensity of a cell to become tumorigenic or suppressing tumorigenic phenotype of a cell; a method of reducing the propensity of a cell to become tumorigenic or suppressing the tumorigenic phenotype of a cell; a method of treating a patient suffering from or predisposed to subsequent cancer development; and a method of diagnosing tumorigenic tissue of a human or tissue predisposed to become tumorigenic.
