Genomic PCR-SSCP analysis of RFC exon 3 in parental cells and their PT523-resistant sublines. High-molecular-weight gDNA (∼50 ng) isolated from parental CCRF-CEM cells and their various antifolate-resistant sublines was PCR amplified in the presence of [32P]dCTP using oligonucleotide primers targeting exon 3. The PCR products were resolved by electrophoresis on nondenaturing, 8% polyacrylamide gels, as described in “Materials and methods.” The arrowhead shown on the right side depicts the band with the altered electrophoretic mobility.
