Abstract

The main purpose of the present study was to look with the heteropolykaryontest (ref. 1,2) for genetic complementation between different HG-PRT deficient cell strains, which had been fused and cultured in Plastic Film Dishes (PFD’s ref, 3,4) A radiochemical HG-PRT microassay, based on the use of the Parafilm Micro Cuvette (PMC; ref. 3,4) was developed, which permits the quantification of the enzyme activity at the single cell level.
