title: Immunocytochemical localization of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase as a single-cell marker of transfected and transgenic cells.
abstract: A technique is described for immunocytochemical localization of the bacterial gene product chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, which is a commonly used reporter gene in transfected and transgenic cells. The described procedure is capable of localizing the enzyme in individual cells, providing a means of determining the cell type(s) expressing a foreign construct in complex cultures or in tissue sections of transgenic mice.
