Abstract excerpt
The HC47 and HC474 cell lines of Chinese hamster fibroblasts resist coformycin through the intrachromosomal amplification of the AMP deaminase 2 (AMPD2) gene. Due to the coamplification of a mu glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene, these mutant lines are more sensitive than GMA32 wild-type parental cells to buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of glutathione biosynthesis. This property was exploited to...
