Abstract excerpt
Targeted modification of human chromosomal alleles by homologous recombination is a powerful approach to study gene function, but gene targeting in mammalian cells is an inefficient process. In contrast, gene targeting in a chicken pre-B cell line, DT40, is highly efficient. We have transferred human chromosome 11 into DT40 cells by microcell fusion, and find that the resulting hybrids are...
