Abstract excerpt
The phenotypic effects of mutation in the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) gene on hprt enzyme activity and hprt mRNA levels were studied in 6-thioguanine (TG) resistant human T-cell clones with various types of hprt mutation. The mean enzyme activity in 16 TG selected clones was less than 1% of the mean in unselected clones. The hprt mRNA levels, measured by a quantitative RNA/RNA solution...
