Metaphase figures of rat chromosomes incorporated into mouse cells

Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Rat chromosomes isolated from ascites hepatoma cells were supplied to the medium of mouse diploid cells culturing in vitro. One, two and four days after cultivation, the rat chromosomes were observed to be incorporated into the metaphase nuclei of the mouse cells at the rate of 0.3, 1.2 and 0.2 per cent, respectively.
