Isolation of uv-sensitive clones from mouse cell lines by Lederberg style replica plating

Journal Article · · J. Cell. Physiol.; (United States)

Seven uv-sensitive clones were isolated from the mouse cell lines, FM3A and L5178Y, using Lederberg style replica plating. The uv-sensitive clones were found at a frequency of 1 in 886 clones of FM3A and of 6 in 420 clones of L5178Y, after treatment with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, but no uv-sensitive clones were obtained in the untreated controls. The Do values of freshly isolated clones were 10 to 21 ergs/mm/sup 2/ (mainly 10 to 13 ergs/mm/sup 2/), while the original FM3A and L5178Y lines had Do values of 32 ergs/mm/sup 2/. The uv-sensitive clones were found to be rather stable for a period ranging from two to eight months after isolation. However, later some of them tended to lose their uv-sensitivity, in terms of increase in Do values or n values. More stable uv-sensitive subclones could be isolated from these populations by cloning using the replica plating method. Caffeine was found to potentiate the lethal action of uv-irradiation on the uv-sensitive clones as well as on the original FM3A cells.
