The basis for the markedly altered intracellular binding of ['Hlvincristine in a multidrug-resistant variant (DC-3FNCRd-SL) of Chinese hamster lung cells [DC-3F) was investigated. Binding of [3Hlvincristine by protein in cytosol derived from each cell type exhibited a differing requirement for GTP i

Abstract
We have previously shown that very high levels of hypersensitivity to several resistance modifiers are correlated with increasing multidrug resistance in a series of Chinese hamster ovary cell lines. We have now selected a new member of the series which is an exception to this correlation in that although it is almost twice as multidrug resistant as the cell line from which it was derived, it shows much less hypersensitivity to resistance modifiers.
Level of resistance modifier hypersensitivity correlated with the level of reduction of verapamil accumulation in these cells, and with the density of Pβglycoprotein, but since the selection of this cell line has involved a doubling of cell volume, it was not correlated with total amount of Pβglycoprotein.

We have observed quantitative and qualitative differences in the mutability and mutagen-specificity of various drug-resistance marker loci in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, which suggest that mammalian gene loci may differ in their relative mutability by a given mutagenic agent. We have used the
