โœฆ Synopsis


We have established procedures for reisolating a transfected gene from mammalian cells by selection in Escherichia coli for the function of the gene product using the Herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene as a model. Rescue of the gene is accomplished by three different methods. The tk gene is recloned into a plasmid in which it is hooked up by either the lac promoter or a lac/tk hybrid promoter, or the original plasmid is cut out of the host cell DNA. As the lac/tk hybrid gene can be expressed and selected both in the mammalian and E. coli cells, this type of gene rescue allows investigations on mutagenesis and methylation processes. Additionally, it offers a simple way of studying the integration of the transfected gene into the mammalian genome.
