A sensitive and dependable assay for distinguishing hamster and human X-linked steroid sulfatase activity in somatic cell hybrids

Comparative Study

A sensitive and dependable assay for distinguishing hamster and human X-linked steroid sulfatase activity in somatic cell hybrids

H F Willard et al. Hum Genet. 1984.

Abstract

A radioisotopic assay is described to distinguish between Chinese hamster and human steroid sulfatase activity in extracts prepared from hamster X human somatic cell hybrids. This assay is based on different pH optima and provides a sensitive and unambiguous biochemical marker for the short arm of the human X chromosome and as well as for otherwise genetically inactivated X chromosomes in rodent X human hybrids.
