Abstract

A medium is described which can be used for the selection of somatic cell hybrids between HPRT-and APRT mutant cells. This medium, called GAMA, contains as its relevant constituents the following: The purines guanine and adenine and the purine biosynthetic pathway inhibitors mycophenolic adic, which blocks conversion of adenine ribonucleotides to guanine ribonucleotides, and azaserine, which blocks de novo purine synthesis.
