Abstract excerpt
A rapid in vivo somatic cell gene mutation assay is being developed that measures mutation in the endogenous X-linked phosphatidylinositol glycan, class A gene (Pig-a). The assay detects Pig-a mutants by flow cytometric identification of cells deficient in glycosylphosphatidyl inositol (GPI) anchor synthesis. GPI-deficient, presumed Pig-a mutant cells also can be detected in a cloning assay that uses proaerolysin...
