Menashe Marcus (February 20, 1938-January 2, 1987) This volume is dedicated to the memory of Menashe Marcus, a major contributor to the concept and substance of this book, who died on Jan- uary 2, 1987 at the age of 48. Menashe was a scientific colleague, collabora- tor, and friend to many of the coauthors of this work. All who knew him were enriched by his kindness, generosity, wonderful sense of humor, and intellectual honesty. His professional life was spent at the Hebrew Univer- sity in Jerusalem. He was dedicated to the advancement of biological research in Israel through his own work, his efforts to introduce precise scientific terminology into modem Hebrew, and through his many success- ful and devoted students. He maintained strong professional and personal ties with the scientific community in the United States, and did his post- doctoral work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with sabbati- cal appointments at Columbia University College of Physicians and Sur- geons, New York University School of Medicine, and the National Institutes of Health. His enthusiasm and vigorous support for the idea that xiii xiv the seeds sown in phage and bacterial genetics would bear fruit in the study of mammalian cells in culture has been borne out by the exciting develop- ments of recent years. Guided by this precept, he pioneered techniques for the isolation and analysis of cell cycle mutants of mammalian cells. His scientific colleagues and friends join his wife Nima and his daughter Nufar in mourning his premature death. He leaves a legacy of scientific achieve- ment which will be long remembered. MICHAEL M. GOTTESMAN Preface The use of the tools of molecular biology to isolate, identify, and map a mutant gene, thereby defining an important process in cellular metabo- lism, is no longer the sole province of the microbiologist. The recent amalgamation of classical somatic cell genetics with recombinant DNA and gene transfer technology has resulted in new approaches especially useful for the study of mutant cells. This volume illustrates how special techniques in molecular biology can be applied to the study of mutant somatic cells in culture. Basic protocols for the manipulation of recombi- nant DNA can be found in other Methods in Enzymology volumes: Re- combinant DNA, Parts A-F, Volumes 68, 100, 101,153, 154, and 155. The book is divided into five sections representing the chronological and conceptual development of molecular cell genetics. The first section describes the origins and use of several important tissue culture systems developed for the genetic analysis of both undifferentiated and differen- tiated cells. For additional discussion of cultured cell systems, the reader is referred to Cell Culture, Volume 58 of this series. The second section presents methodology useful for the isolation of mutant mammalian cells. The third section details new procedures for the mapping of mammalian genes defined either by somatic cell mutations or cloned DNA fragments. The fourth section describes novel techniques for the isolation of mutant genes, and the final section presents new approaches to the study of gene expression in cultured mammalian cells. I would like to thank William Jakoby for suggesting this project to me, Nathan Kaplan for his enthusiastic endorsement, Ira Pastan for continued support and encouragement, and my wife, Susan, and children, Daniel and Rebecca, for their forbearance. Special thanks are due to Robert Fleisch- mann for critical comments on some of the manuscripts, to Joyce Sharrar for excellent secretarial help, to my other colleagues in the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the National Cancer Institute who provided a sound- ing board for ideas, and to the many contributors to this volume for their timely and clearly presented contributions.

GOTTESMAN Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have been extensively used for genetic analysis in tissue culture since the pioneering work of Puck, who first isolated this cell line.~ These cells have been used for the isolation of mutants affecting intermediary metabolism; DNA, RNA, and protein syn- thesis; membrane functions; and several more complex forms of cell be- havior such as cell growth and endocytosis. A recent compilation of CHO mutants lists more than 80 classes of mutants isolated using this cell line. 2 There are many reasons for the successful use of CHO cells in somatic cell genetics among which are (1) ease of growth with a doubling time of 12 hr and cloning efficiency in excess of 80%3; (2) simple karyotype with 21 large, easily recognized chromosomes4; (3) apparently high frequency of mutant phenotypes based on the "functional hemizygosity" of some of the CHO genome 5 as well as a high frequency of "segregation-like" events which unmask otherwise recessive mutations6; and (4) the ease with which CHO cells can be transfected with DNA. 7 Although these characteristics make CHO cells useful for the isolation of mutants affecting general cell functions, this line is not suitable for an analysis of most differentiated functions. There are two other disadvantages of these cells which should be borne in mind; namely, they are not derived from a fully inbred Chinese hamster line and hence mutant cell lines cannot be reintroduced back into the animal of origin, and they are not susceptible to infection by standard retroviruses which might be used as DNA vectors (see chapter by Goff[36]; this volume).

In 1957, one of his partially inbred female hamsters was given to Puck, who established a fibroblastic cell line from the ovary of this animal.~ The cell line was originally slightly aneuploid, 9 having either 23 or 21 chromosomes instead of the 11 pairs found in the Chinese hamster, and grew vigorously. One subline of the original isolate, called CHO-K1 (ATCC CCL 61) was maintained in Denver by Puck and Kao, whereas another subline was sent to Tobey at Los Alamos. This latter line was adapted to suspension growth by Thompson at the University of Toronto (CHO-S) in 1971 and has given rise to a number of Toronto subclones with similar properties including the line CHO Pro -5 used exten- sively by Siminovitch and numerous colleagues in Toronto, CHO GAT- of McBurney and Whitmore, subline 10001 of Gottesman at the NIH, and subline AA8 of Thompson. There are some differences in the karyotypes of the CHO-K1 and CHO-S cell lines, and CHO-S grows well in spinner and suspension culture, whereas CHO-K 1 does not. Both sublines seem to give rise readily to mutant phenotypes. The methodologies described in this chapter were developed for work with the CHO-S sublines, but most of the methods, with the exception of suspension culture, can be used for CHO-K1 cell lines. Growth of CHO Cells CHO cells are proline auxotrophs, unlike most other cultured cell lines, and require medium containing this nutrient, such as Ham's F l2 (for formulation, see Puck 9) or a-modified Eagle's medium (a-MEM) without ribonucleoside or deoxyribonucleosides (for formulation, see Gottesman3), both of which are commercially available. These rich media must in addition contain other limiting nutrients for CHO cells, since they support more rapid growth of CHO lines than is possible in MEM alone supple- mented with proline. We routinely use a-MEM supplemented with I0% fetal bovine serum (calf serum will work but will not support suspension growth) with penicillin (50 units/ml) and streptomycin (50 gg/ml). Fetal bovine sera must be prescreened and should support clonal growth of CHO S G. Yerganian, in"MolecularCellGenefics" (M.M. GoResman, ed.), p. 3. Wiley, New York, 1985. 9 T. T.

Our usual protocol for screening sera involves the following tests: 1. Determine the cloning efficiency of CHO cells in different serum concentrations. Hate 200 CHO cells in medium containing 10, 5, 2, 1, 0.5, and 0.2% serum. After 7-10 days clones should be visible at all serum concentrations with the possible exception of 0.2%. The clones can be more easily visualized by staining with 0.5% methylene blue in 50% eth- anol. 2. Determine the doubling time of CHO cells in 10% serum. Hate 2 × l04 cells in eight 35-mm dishes or in eight individual wells of a 24-well multiwell dish (CoStar). After 16 hr, remove medium and add l ml of 0.25% trypsin, 0.2 M EDTA in PBS or Tris-dextrose buffer (TD buffer is NaC1, 8 g/liter; KC1, 0.38 g/liter; Na2HPO4, 0. l g/liter; Tris-HC1, 3 g/liter; and dextrose, 1.0 g/liter adjusted to pH 7.4 with HC1). Incubate at 37 ° for 30 min and add the suspended cells to 9 ml isotonic cell counting medium for counting. Repeat the trypsinization and cell counts every 24 hr for 3 more days at which time the cell monolayers should be confluent. CHO cells should double every 12 hr. Failure to double at this rate suggests a problem with medium, serum, growth conditions (see below), or infection with a microorganism such as mycoplasma. 3. Test fetal bovine serum for ability to support growth in suspension (see below). Only one of three random fetal bovine serum samples will support optimal cell growth in suspension. Poor sera will result in clump- ing of cells. 4. Confirm that the appearance of the cells growing in the lot of serum being tested is the same as their appearance in other serum lots. The cells should be fibroblastic and nonvacuolated. Membrane ruffling and bleb- bing is quite common, especially after the cells are initially plated. 5. Confirm that cells growing in the lot of serum being tested have the same biochemical and genetic phenotypes as in previous lots of serum used in the laboratory. If extensive gene transfer studies are anticipated, serum lots should be tested for ability to support DNA mediated gene transfer at good frequency (see chapter by Fordis and Howard [27], this volume). CHO cells grow optimally at 37 °3 and prefer a slightly alkaline pH (optimum pH is 7.4-7.8). 3 In bicarbonate-buffered medium such as ~-MEM, CO2 concentration should be approximately 5%. If higher CO2 concentrations are used, as would be the case when CHO cells are culti- vated in the same incubator with cells growing in MEM, the medium will be too acid and cells will not grow optimally. CHO cells are transformed and will overgrow at high cell density and die. For this reason, it is essential to split cells every few days.
