Abstract excerpt
The clonal and the autoradiographic assays for 6-thioguanine-resistant (TGr) T-lymphocytes (T-Lys) in human blood are reviewed. Studies of TGr colonies recovered from clonal assays show that the mutant T-Lys (i) are either helper (T4) or suppressor (T8) cells, (ii) possess stable TGr phenotypes, (iii) are deficient in hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), and (iv) have structural alterations in...
