Abstract excerpt
The frequency of 6-thioguanine resistant (TGr) mutant T-lymphocytes arising in vivo in humans can be quantified with a cell cloning assay. However, the in vivo proliferation of T-lymphocytes that may include TGr mutant cells can distort the relationship between mutation events and the resulting frequency of mutant cells. The T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement pattern of T-cell colonies can be used as an...
