Abstract excerpt
The Pig-a assay is used for monitoring somatic cell mutation in laboratory animals and humans. The assay detects haematopoietic cells deficient in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein surface markers using flow cytometry. However, given that synthesis of the protein markers (and the expression of their genes) is independent of the expression of the X-linked Pig-a gene and the function of its enzyme...
