Abstract
Hybrid clones were obtained between a mouse cell line (3TP) and a temperatureโsensitive Chinese hamster cell line (K12) unable to grow at 40ยฐ because of a ts defect apparently located at the G1/S transition. The great majority of hybrid clones grew at 40ยฐ, showing the ts defect to be โrecessive.โ Chromosome DNA replication was analyzed in some detail in three hybrid clones with balanced complements. Although the S period of these hybrids was longer than that of K12, DNA replication in mouse and hamster chromosomes started and ended synchronously. Upon prolonged culture, mouse chromosomes were lost as they are in hybrids involving a non ts Chinese hamster partner, in which case asynchronous chromosome replication appears to be the rule. It seems therefore that asynchronous replication is not the determining factor in chromosome loss from cell hybrids.

To identify pig chromosomes in pigmouse somatic cell hybrids, dual-laser flow karyotypes and GTG-banded metaphase spreads of pig, mouse, and 7 p i g mouse hybrid cell lines were compared. Pig chromosomes no. 1,2,5,6,10,11,13, 14, 16, 18, X and Y were tentatively assigned to individual peaks in the p
