Abstract excerpt
We investigated whether age-dependent reactivation of a repressed X-linked gene occurs. Subjects were female mice, carrying the X-autosomal translocation, T(X;16)16H (Searle's translocation). The mice were also heterozygous, for the X-linked gene coding for phosphoglycerate kinase (T16H pgk-1b/+ pgk-1a and pgk-1a was selectively repressed in these mice (McMahon and Monk, 1983). An electrophoretic method was...
