Gene linkage analysis in the mouse by somatic cell hybridization: Assignment of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase to chromosome 8 and α-galactosidase to the X chromosome

  • Published:
Somatic Cell Genetics

Abstract

Somatic cell hybridization techniques were applied to gene linkage analysis in the laboratory mouse. Cells of an established line of Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts were fused with mouse embryo fibroblasts and with mouse peritoneal macrophages obtained from different inbred strains: From 3 hybridization experiments, 123 primary and secondary clones were isolated in HAT selective medium and 24 were back-selected in 8-azaguanine. Hybrid clones were characterized for the expression of 16 murine isozymes by starch, acrylamide, and Cellogel electrophoresis, and on the basis of segregation data, 3 syntenic associations could be made. Malate oxidoreductase decarboxylating (MOD) and mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI) segregated concordantly, confirming an established linkage relationship;adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) segregated concordantly with glutathione reductase (GR) which is known to be on chromosome 8;α-galactosidase was observed to be syntenic with hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), and X-linked enzyme. All other isozymes examined segregated independently of one another.
