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 mutants do not display crossโresistance for ConA but are slightly crossโresistant to PHA. Biochemically labeled membrane proteins and glycoprotein of Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) grown in the TM^R^ mutants revealed that the incorporation of radioactive glucosamine was markedly reduced in the mutants. The results indicate that TM^R^ cells are a novel type of membrane mutant.

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
