Abstract
The 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) and glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) genes are both located on chromosome 6 in the pig (Sus scrofa domestica). Nonetheless, the PGD gene was absent in a total of 17 GPI-positive cell lines found in three independently derived panels of pig x rodent somatic cell hybrids. In most of these cell lines we found an apparently normal pig chromosome 6 at cytogenetic analysis. These results suggest instability of the porcine PGD gene region in interspecies hybrid cells.
