Diphtheria toxin resistance in human lymphoblast lines
Abstract
Stable mutants (Dipr), highly resistant to diphtheria toxin have been selected from a sensitive human lymphoblast line. A second human lymphoblast line, HH-4 (and its derivative TK6-1) were found to be highly resistant to diphtheria toxin without any previous selection, suggesting the presence of the Dipr allele in the human population. The resistance of protein synthesis in extracts of mutant cells to diphtheria toxin indicates that the …
