Pig--mouse somatic cell hybrids were obtained from fusion of HPRT--mouse cells (RAG) and pig lymphocytes. The pig-mouse hybrids examined apparently retained on the average only 9 to 15 pig chromosomes. Seven of the hybrid clones were karyotyped to determine the pig chromosome constitution, and the same hybrid clones were tested electrophoretically for the expression of pig hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), and alpha-galactosidase (alpha-GAL) phenotypes. All five of the hybrid clones which had retained the pig X-chromosome exhibited concordant expression of pig HPRT, G6PD, and alpha-GAL enzymes. These data indicate that the genes HPRT, G6PD, and alpha-GAL are located on the X-chromosome of the domestic pig.

An established Chinese hamster cell line was fused with microcells isolated from phenotypically stable transferent mouse cells which contained a mouse transgenome coding for an abnormal form of mouse hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT, EC. No. 2.4.2.8) (Willecke et al. 1979). Two hybrids were isolated which expressed the abnormal form of mouse HPRT but no mouse alpha-galactosidase (GALA, EC. No. 3.2.1.22). In one of these microcell hybrids the abnormal HPRT activity segregated under counter-selective conditions with mouse chromosome 3. No mouse chromosome or additional mouse gene marker was found in the second microcell hybrid, possibly because of breakage and/or rearrangement of the integrated transgenome during the isolation of this hybrid. We conclude from these results that the transferred mouse HPRT gene is a phenotypically stable clone is not integrated at its homologous site on the host X chromosome. Rather, the transgenome is probably integrated into mouse chromosome 3, possibly due to homologies in repeated DNA sequences which may occur in the transgenome and which are interspersed at many sites in the host genome.
