## Abstract Temperature sensitive cells have been isclated from Syrian and Chinese hamster cells using a method based on selective detachment from a glass substrate. The Syrian hamster isolates occurred at a high frequency (about 1 in 10^3^) and reverted rapidly; polyoma virus transformation confer

Abstract
Mammalian cell populations may be enriched for temperature‐sensitive (ts) mutants by the tritiated thymidine (^3^H‐TdR) suicide procedure (Thompson et al., '71). Such procedures were carried out on the near‐diploid Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line and on a line made “tetraploid” by Colcemid treatment. Clones of ts mutants were obtained from the diploid line, but in spite of repeated attempts, no ts mutants were isolated from the tetroploid line. The phenotypes of the new diploid ts mutants recovered were consistent with the particular selection regime employed.

Mutants of mouse L-cells which are temperature-sensitive for growth have been obtained by using both selective and nonselective isolation procedures on populations treated with the mutagen nitrosoguanidine. Selective isolation was carried out by utilizing a five-day treatment with 3H-TdR and ara-C a
