Abstract excerpt
In vivo mutation assays based on the Pig-a null phenotype, that is, the absence of cell surface glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored proteins such as CD59, have been described. This work has been accomplished with hematopoietic cells, most often rat peripheral blood erythrocytes (RBCs) and reticulocytes (RETs). The current report describes new sample processing procedures that dramatically increase the...
