title: Isolation and properties of a thialysine-resistant clone of CHO cells.
abstract: A variant clone of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells resistant to thialysine has been isolated. It maintains the phenotypic properties even after 250 generations in medium without thialysine. Growth rate, cell viability and protein synthesis rate of the variant are much less affected by thialysine than the parental strain. In both the parental strain and the variant, thialysine acts in competition with lysine as indicated by the fact that all thialysine effects can be completely reversed by lysine.
