Abstract excerpt
Transfection of rat mammary (Rama) 37 epithelial cells, which yield nonmetastasizing adenomas in syngeneic Wistar-Furth rats, with HindIII-fragmented cellular DNA and the drug-resistance plasmids pSV2gpt or pSV2neo yields drug-resistant transformants with a frequency of 10(-4)-10(-5). Transformant cell lines transfected with the following, pSV2gpt alone, pSV2gpt and Rama 37 DNA, pSV2gpt and DNA from a...
