Isozyme and allozyme patterns in embryonic Drosophila cell culture lines

Biochemical Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Two independently derived embryonic Drosophila cell culture lines were examined for 19 gene-enzyme systems. At two loci, α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase on chromosome 2, and isocitrate dehydrogenase on chromosome 3, allelic variation was detected. These can now serve as genetic markers to identify hybrid cell clones. Quantitative differences between cell lines were found for five enzymes.
