Stable haploid cultured cell lines from frog embryos.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two haploid cell lines have been established from androgenetic embryos of the frog, Rana pipiens; one line has been maintained in culture for 150 generations, the other for 200 generations. Karyotypes of the two lines agree well with the standard for the species although some chromosomes show small differences in length. The cells multiply in the same defined basal medium used for culture of other anuran cell lines; this medium consists of the usual amino acids, vitamins, and serum macromolecules plus an exogenous purine source. Both the haploids resemble "permanent" cell lines in their prolonged multiplication in culture. The two lines differ in their mode of growth, one being epithelial-like, the other forming an overlapping meshwork of fibroblast-like cells. Both have the low plating efficiency characteristic of "unaltered" cells. These two lines are exceptional in their ability to compete successfully with the diploid variants which arise by endomitosis or cell fusion and which usually overgrow the haploid population. The more vigorous line, RPH 68.2A, should provide the long-desired haploid material for genetic studies in cell culture.

متن کاملPuromycin Resistance in Haploid and Heteroploid Frog Cells: Gene or Membrane Determined?
The frequency of colony formation in monolayers of cultured frog cell lines treated with puromycin was compared in (a) haploid and heteroploid lines and (b) mutagen-treated and nontreated haploid lines. Evidence that resistant colonies result from gene mutation was negative, since the colony frequency is independent of both ploidy and mutagen treatment. A study of five frog cell lines showed th...
متن کاملKaryotype Characterization of In Vivo- and In Vitro-Derived Porcine Parthenogenetic Cell Lines
Mammalian haploid cell lines provide useful tools for both genetic studies and transgenic animal production. To derive porcine haploid cells, three sets of experiments were conducted. First, genomes of blastomeres from 8-cell to 16-cell porcine parthenogenetically activated (PA) embryos were examined by chromosome spread analysis. An intact haploid genome was maintained by 48.15% of blastomeres...

In order to produce doubled haploid lines of bread wheat resistant to strip or yellow rust, three F1 wheat hybrids were crossed using pollens of three maize hybrids. Out of 1071 pollinated florets, success in seed set ranged from 63.1% to 93.3% (mean 78%). Differences in seed set among the crosses were not significant. Embryo formation in the seeds developed on different crosses also varied fro...

These eggs were transferred to suitable recipients and 'delayed' blastocysts subsequently recovered. The 'delayed' blastocyst...
