Mutants temperature-sensitive for growth have been isolated from the established line of Chinese hamster fibroblasts Wg1A. These mutants, together with the ones previously isolated by Roscoe et al. ('73), have been characterized with regard to their cell cycle properties. Most of them become arreste

Abstract
The induction, isolation and some of the properties of serineβrequiring mutants of Chinese hamster ovary cells have been described. These cells promise to be useful in biochemical genetic studies and cancer research.

## Abstract Stable clones selected for resistance to tunicamycin (TM) have been isolated from Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. The TM^R^ phenotype is stable for more than nine months in the absence of the drug. The morphology of TM^R^ mutant varies from epitheloid to abnormally elongate. The muta
## Abstract Stable mutants resistant to an anticancer antibiotic, bleomycinβA2, were selected in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell either spontaneously or after ethylmethane sulfonate mutagenesis. Fluctuation analysis showed that bleomycin resistance occurs in CHO at a rate of 6.50β6.58 Γ 10^β7^ mut
The effects of the microtubule inhibitor taxol on the growth and viability of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have been examined. Stable mutants which are between seven to 11-fold more resistant to taxol have been selected in a single step from ethyl methanesulfonate-mutagenized CHO cells. The two
## Abstract Chinese hamster somatic cells grown in the presence of bromodeoxyuridine, deoxycytidine and fluorodeoxyuridine incorporate more bromodeoxyuridine in their DNA than cells grown in the presence of bromodeoxyuridine alone. Thus they become more sensitive to light irradiation. Our data sugg
