Abstract excerpt
Analysis of somatic mutation in circulating peripheral blood T cells can be used as an index of in vivo T-cell amplification. The ability to assess the frequency of T cells that survive in vitro in the presence of 6-thioguanine is an index of mutation at the HPRT gene locus. In the absence of exposure to mutational agents, elevations of the HPRT mutant frequency (mF) of T cells reflects errors in DNA replication...
