Abstract excerpt
We have generated a new mutation assay system using HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells, which consists of a combination of tetracycline-operator dependent GFP gene (TetO-EGFP) and tetracycline repressor (TetR) genes, where the expression of GFP gene is under strict control of TetR protein, and the TetR gene is located within the endogenous HPRT gene. In this system, any inactivating mutation at the TetR gene or...
