Abstract
Transformation of mammalian TK- cells by a plasmid carrying the TK gene from Herpes virus simplex 1 (pAGO) was mediated by electroporation. The cells were treated either in suspension or growing in monolayers directly in the petri dish. The yield of transformation was between 8.10(-5) and 2.10(-4) per microgram DNA depending on the experimental conditions. The structure of the integrated DNA was investigated proving the occurrence of a duplication process that affected preferentially the pBR322 part of the pAGO DNA (60 copies per cell). The TK gene that gave the TK+ phenotype to the selected clone was present in less than 6 copies.Entities:
