RESUMO

Through hybridization of specific Chinese hamster cell auxotrophs with human cells and selection in media lacking the nutritional supplements required by the former cells, a series of stable hybrid clones can be prepared. These hybrids have genomes consisting of a common part--the complete or almost complete set of Chinese hamster chromosomes, plus a variable part--one or a few human chromosomes. The identity of the human chromosomes can be varied by utilizing different Chinese hamster auxotrophs and the appropriate selective media. The human chromosomes present can be determined by a combination of cytogenetic analysis with chromosome banding and testing for specific human marker genes. Hybrids containing single human chromosomes 11 and 12 and the combination of both 11 and 12 are described. The system appears to lend itself to various studies such as identification of human cell surface antigens, determination of their chromosomal loci, measurement of their distribution among cells of normal human tissues, study of interrelations among syntenic and asyntenic genes, and mutational analysis of the human genome.
