Abstract excerpt
A stepwise selection procedure was used to obtain from Mtx-5011 Aedes albopictus cells, variants with increased resistance to methotrexate (mtx). On the basis of growth, the Mtx-5011 derivatives were 270- to 3,000-fold more resistant to mtx than wild-type mosquito cells. Properties associated with mtx resistance in these cells were consistent with amplification of the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene. The...
