The different clones were obtained as described in “Materials and methods” and “Results.” The somatic hybrids neoR × h.XG66 and neoR × h.MIC11 were generated by fusion of single transfectants expressing XG or CD99 and RAG cells transfected with the empty pcDNA3 vector (selected for the neoR marker). The somatic hybrids XG13 × hygRand MIC22 × hygR were generated by fusion of single transfectants expressing XG or CD99 and RAG cells transfected with the empty pcDNA-hyg vector (selected for the hygR marker). Results represent the mean of three measurements, each at a different cell passage.
