Abstract excerpt
The HPRT assay uses incorporation of toxic nucleotide analogs to select for cells lacking the purine scavenger enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosporibosyltransferase. A major advantage of this assay is the ability to isolate mutant cells and determine the molecular basis for their functional deficiency. Many types of analyses have been performed at this locus: the current protocol involves generation of a cDNA and...
