Abstract excerpt
Mice heterozygous at Aprt (adenine phosphoribosyltransferase) were used as a model to study in vivo loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in normal fibroblasts. Somatic cell variants that exhibited functional loss of the wild-type Aprt in vivo were recovered as APRT-deficient cell colonies after culturing in selection medium containing 2, 6-diaminopurine (DAP), an adenine analog that is toxic only to cells with APRT...
