Identification of the genes that are specifically expressed in tumor cells but not in normal cells (oncogenes), or vice versa (tumor suppressor genes), is important for understanding the molecular basis of cancer. The differential display technique was applied to compare mRNAs from normal and tumor-derived human mammary epithelial cells, cultured under the same conditions. Complementary DNA fragments corresponding to several apparently differentially expressed mRNAs were recovered and sequenced. They exhibit characteristics of the 3' end of eukaryotic mRNA, as predicted by the method. A complementary DNA fragment seen only in the normal cell was used as a probe to isolate its corresponding complementary DNA clone from a library. Northern analysis confirmed its differential expression. Thus, this method can be used for detecting, cloning, and sequencing of genes that are unique to a host of biological and disease processes.
