In vivo mutation assay based on the endogenous <i>Pig‐a</i> locus

Abstract excerpt

The product of the X-chromosome's Pig-a gene acts in the first step of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis, and is thereby essential for attaching certain proteins to the cell surface. The experiments described herein were designed to evaluate whether lack of GPI-anchored proteins could form the basis of an in vivo mutation assay. Specifically, we used a CD59-negative cell surface phenotype to...
