Abstract excerpt
The endogenous X-linked phosphatidyl inositol glycan class A gene (Pig-a) can be used as a reporter of in vivo somatic cell mutation in rats and mice. Pig-a mutant cells are deficient in specific protein surface markers and can be identified and quantified by immunofluorescent staining followed by high-throughput flow cytometry. Pig-a mutation detection is commonly performed with red blood cells (RBCs) because:...
