Abstract
An untransformed parental Chinese hamster cell line, one polyoma transformed clone, and two clones containing both SV40 and polyoma DNA were tested for the appearance of variants resistant to 6-thioguanine or oubain. The frequency of such variants was found to be highest in doubly transformed cells. The mutation rate at these loci was correlated with the level of transformation. The mutants observed were stable and had low reversion frequencies with no gross cytogenetic changes. These results establish a quantitative basis for the evaluation of phenotypic variability observed in transformed cell populations.Keywords
