Abstract excerpt
A defective hprt gene was corrected by homologous recombination in a lymphocyte cell line deficient in Hypoxanthine-phosphoribosyl-transferase activity (hprt). In a novel approach, only a fragment of a cDNA clone of the functional hprt gene was used to induce homologous recombination. The mutation that was corrected corresponds to a single base change in exon III of the hprt gene. Two transfection methods,...
