  • Title: Cytogenetic manifestations associated with the reversion, by gene amplification, at the HGPRT locus in V79 Chinese hamster cells.
    Author: Di Leonardo A, Agnese C, Cavolina P, Maddalena A, Sciandrello G, Randazzo R.
    Journal: Genet Res; 1989 Jun; 53(3):201-6. PubMed ID: 2767430.
    Abstract:
    Some HGPRT spontaneous revertants were isolated from a mutant line (E2) of V79 Chinese hamster cells and phenotypically characterized. Dot-Blot hybridization with a 32P-labelled HGPRT probe revealed an increase in the number of HGPRT sequences in some of these revertants, suggesting the occurrence of gene amplification. Cytogenetic analysis performed in three of these revertants showed a characteristic abnormally banding region (ABR) on the elongated p arm of the X chromosome. In situ hybridization in one revertant (RHE2) showed that the amplified sequences reside on the p+ arm of the X chromosome in two different localizations. Because of the very probably clonal origin of the revertant, these features indicate that the amplified sequences might rearrange after their integration into the chromosome.
