A new set of positive/negative selectable markers for mammalian cells.
Five new positive and negative selectable markers were created for use in mammalian cells. Their negative selectabilities are based on the Thymidine kinase ( Tk) gene of Herpes Simplex virus (HSV) or the Cytidine deaminase ( codA) gene of E. coli. The markers can be selected positively by their ability to induce either Hygromycin (Hyg), neomycin (neo), puromycin (PAC) or Blasticidin S (BlaS) resistance. With these markers, two complete sets of markergenes are available that induce independent negative selectable phenotypes.[1]References
