Abstract excerpt
The nature of recessive mutations at the autosomal locus encoding the purine salvage enzyme adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (APRT) was analyzed in a highly malignant human tumor cell line (the colorectal carcinoma line SW620). Mutant strains resistant to the purine analog 8-azaadenine were obtained in two steps. The first step selection for partial drug resistance produced strains hemizygous for APRT as a...
