A monensin-resistant mutant Monr-31, derived from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line, has been shown to have a reduced number of insulin receptors and a reduction in glucose uptake in response to insulin. We have further investigated the possibility that altered glucose uptake in Monr-31 cells i

Abstract
This paper reports the isolation of a phenotypically stable line of Chinese hamster ovary cells which exhibits a temperature dependent alteration in the transport of some purines. The alteration manifests itself for the uptake of guanine, hypoxanthine, azaguanine and guanosine but not for adenine, adenosine or thymidine. Studies with crude cell extracts suggest that, at the temperature the alteration is being expressed, the HGPRT activity is within the normal range. In cell‐cell hybridization studies the alteration behaves as a recessive genetic trait.

## Abstract Viability, DNA synthesis and mitosis have been followed in the temperature sensitive Chinese hamster cell mutant K12 under permissive and non‐permissive conditions. On incubation at 40°C cells retained their ability to form colonies at 33°C for 15 to 20 hours, but viability was lost gra
## Abstract A temperature‐sensitive (ts) cell cycle mutant of Chinese hamster fibroblasts with a block in G~1~ was investigated. Attention was on the expression of the activity of three enzymes: ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), S‐adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMDC), and thymidine kinase (TK). OD
