title: [Studies on human cervical carcinoma cell line. II. Establishment of HGPRT- cell line CC-80IAR2 and its biological characteristics].
abstract: An HGPRT- cell line, CC-801AR2, was established from cloned human cervical carcinoma cell line CC-801 by using MNNG to induce cell mutation and 8-azaguanine (8-AG) to select the 8-AG resistant cells. The deficiency of HG-PRT in CC-801AR2 cells was proved by enzyme activity assay. This cell line was very sensitive to HAT medium. It was very similar in biological characteristics to CC-801, especially in that it retained its tumorigenicity when transplanted into nude mice. CC-801AR2 can therefore be used in somatic cell hybridization and gene transfer experiments.
