Galactokinase and galactose I-phosphate uridyl transferase activities have been studied in several Chinese hamster ovary clonal lines following hybridization of two glycine-requiring mutants. Initially, the hybrids have about twice the parental activity of both enzymes. However, with time, there is

✦ Synopsis
Lymphocy tes from a patient with classic galactosemia (GA LT deficiency) were hybridized with a Chinese hamster cell line. Electrophoretic evaluation of GAL T in 31 independently derived interspecific hybrid clones failed to demonstrate expression of the human GALT gene even when human chromosome 9 was present. Possible mechanisms for this lack of expression are presented.

The a-galactosidases in normal man-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids were investigated with antibodies specific for human a-galactosidase A and antibodies specific for Chinese hamster a-galactosidase. It was found that an isoenzyme in hybrid cells, which has an electrophoretic mobility between th
## Abstract Somatic hybrids obtained by the selective method of Littlefield between a permanent line of Chinese hamster cells (Wg3) and one of mouse cells (3TP) showed a preponderance of biarmed (hamster) chromosomes. Under normal culture conditions (37°) the doubling time of the parental mouse cel
The expression of the adenylate kinase isozymes and of phosphopyruvate hydratase was studied in man-mouse and man-hamster hybrid clones. Concordant segregation of the loci coding for AK-2 and PPH was observed in 54 of 55 primary hybrid clones, and these loci were demonstrated to be synthetic with th
