[Localization of dihydrofolate reductase amplified genes in Chinese hamster cells resistant to methotrexate].
New sublines of BFFR1 and BFFR3 cells were obtained as a result of prolonged cultivation of Chinese hamster cells of Blld-ii-FAF 28 line (clone 431) in the presence of increasing concentrations of methotrexate (MTX). The lines obtained were resistant to 200 and 300 mcM of MTX, respectively. Amplification of the gene for dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), similar to normal DHFR gene in restriction patterns, was proved by blot-hybridization of the resistant cells' DNA with 32P-labeled plasmid DHFR-26. Correlation is shown between the extent of gene amplification and resistance of the cell lines. In situ hybridization of the metaphase chromosomes of resistant cells with 3H-DHFR-26 results in preferential binding of the label with the regions of marker chromosomes 2 and 5, containing long, so called differential staining regions which are known to be the places of localization of amplified genes.
