Abstract excerpt
To study the mechanism of illegitimate recombination in mammalian cells, we have developed a shuttle vector, pNK1, that contains three bacterial markers, amp (ApR), galK, and neo (KmR). The frequency of deletions occurring in autonomously replicating pNK1 DNA during the growth of monkey COS1 cells was measured by transfecting the plasmid into Escherichia coli cells and counting the number of galK- ApS double...
