title: Chromosomal mapping of human creatine kinase (brain type) using human-rodent somatic cell hybrids.
abstract: Concordant segregation of human brain-type creatine kinase, CK(BB), expression with nucleoside phosphorylase (NP) expression and the presence of chromosome 14 was observed in 53 independently derived cell hybrids between CK(BB)-positive human cells and CK(BB)-negative rodent cells. Further analysis of 26 subclones of two CK(BB)-positive human-mouse cell hybrids confirmed the positive correlation of CK(BB) expression with NP expression. The results suggest that the gene coding for human CK(BB) can be assigned to chromosome 14.
