[Characteristics of quantitative karyotypic variability in cell line of kidney from rat kangaroo (Potorous tridactylis)].
The goal of this work was to investigate the numeral karyotypic variability in different sublines (MT, M2). These sublines are formed spontaneously from the main cell line (M) and have modal number of chromosomes 9 and 10, MSVK (main structural variant karyotype)--3 + 3 + 1 + 2 and 3 + 4 + 2 + 1. There are general regulations which were originally got for the line M. In particular: 1) nonrandom character of cell distribution according to the number of chromosomal deviations from MSVK; 2) specific character of deviations of each chromosome from MSVK; 3) presence of significant connections between separate chromosomes by simultaneous, mainly single directed numeral deviations. These three lines (M, MT, M2) were compared and some differences were found: 1) different frequencies of deviations from MSVK; 2) the same chromosomes have tendency to different numeral deviation; 3) the specificity of some significant connections between separate chromosomes by simultaneous numeral deviations. These results lead us to a conclusion that the balance of numerical karyotypic structure in cell populations depends on the regulations connected with the character of deviations according to the number of chromosomes from MSVK which has the largest selected advantage. Each line has its own specific limits of karyotypic variability.
