Abstract

A series of Chinese hamster cell lines were tested and found to be able to proliferate in the absence of added bicarbonate and carbondioxide if hypoxanthine and uridine were present in the medium. Conversely, cells incapable of salvaging one of these precursors, such as hypoxanthine‐guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT^βˆ’^) deficient cells did not multiply under these conditions.

We describe another variant capable of utilizing hypoxanthine and uridine which has an absolute requirement for exogenous CO~2~/NaHCO~3~ for growth. These cells appear to be defective in the complete oxidation of pyruvate to carbondioxide, and indications are that the entry of pyruvate into the Krebs cycle is affected.

The use of a temperature switch to control the growth and productivity of temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants was investigated to extend the productive life span of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in batch culture. Bromodeoxyuridine was used at 39Β°C to select mutagenized CHO-K1 cells, w

Methotrexate (MTX) covalently linked to poly(L-lysine) [poly(Lys)] enters cells by endocytosis, is degraded in lysosomes and, upon liberation of small molecular methotrexate, is cytocidal to Chinese hamster cells in culture. This drug conjugate was used to select mutants resistant to MTX-poly(Lys),
