Abstract
The ability to introduce defined genes into cultured cells radically alters the prospects for understanding differentiation and growth control in higher organisms. Stable transformation of animal cells may be effected by the delivery of DNA as a calcium phosphate coprecipitate (Graham and van der Eb 1973). Since the uptake and expression of DNA is a relatively rare event, transformants are usually isolated by selection for cells that have acquired a new phenotype. For this purpose the thymidine kinase (tk)1 gene of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is often used as the selectable vector with tk+ recipient cells (Wigler et al. 1977). The tk+ transformants are then selected in HAT medium. Nonselectable genes may be stably introduced into cells either by direct ligation to the selectable vector (Mantei et al. 1979) or by unlinked cotransformation (Wigler et al. 1979b).
