Abstract excerpt
The X-chromosomal gene for hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), first recognized through its human germinal mutations, quickly became a useful target for studies of somatic mutations in vitro and in vivo in humans and animals. In this role, HPRT serves as a simple reporter gene. The in vivo mutational studies have concentrated on peripheral blood lymphocytes, for obvious reasons. In vivo...
