“…In selections with MTX the frequency of colonies that exhibited some growth after isolation was 9 X 10-7. These frequencies are relative to starting cell numbers and (40)(41)(42)(43)(44), for amplification of the gene encoding the a-subunit of the Na, K-ATPase with oubain (45,46), for amplification of an adenine deaminase gene with adenine nucleosides (47), and for amplification of the UMP synthase gene with pyrazofurin (48 (25), ouabain (49,50), azaguanine (51), 6-thioguanine (50), and diphtheria toxin (52) and selection of keratinocytes with 6-thioguanine (53 (7,54) but not in one other (55).
