摘要:
By screening an animal cell transformant, which has been obtained by introducing into wild-type animal cells a wild-type DHFR gene and a structural gene which codes a desired useful substance, with a medium containing methotrexate (MTX) at a concentration of 50 .mu.M or lower, both genes can be amplified effectively within an MTX resistant strain and a stable amplified transformant can also be obtained. The screening may be repeated using an increasing concentration of MTX. It is also possible to obtain stably the desired foreign gene product in a high yield by using the thus-obtained amplified transformant.
