title: [Genetic transformation of somatic cells. IV. The rate of loss of transformant phenotype depends on the structure of the transforming DNA and changes when the cells are treated with the tumor promotor 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate].
abstract: Analysis was made of the phenotype stability of some clones of thymidine kinase deficient (TK-) Chinese hamster cells transformed by thymidine kinase gene (TK-gene) of Herpes simplex virus type (HSV 1). The presence of a fragment of human satellite DNA III in the plasmid DNA carrying the TK-gene of HSV 1 reduced notably the rate of the loss of TK+-phenotype, and the treatment of the cells with a tumour promoter--12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate--immediately after transformation destabilizes TK+-phenotype of transformant clones. Removal of the eukaryotic carrier DNA for the plasmid DNA without the TK-gene of HSV 1 destabilizes the clone transformant phenotype. Changes in the structure of the plasmid DNA containing no TK-gene of HSV 1 and introduced into cells simultaneously with TK-gene containing plasmids affects the rate of the loss of TK+-phenotype transformed cells.
