Fifty wild-type and 164in vivo-derivedhprtmutant T-cell clones obtained from eight non-mutagen-exposed adult males with mutant frequency values in the normal range (usually < 10 × 10−6) were studied by Southern blot analyses to determine frequency and extent of gross structural alterations in thehprtgene. Sixteen (9.8%) of the mutant clones showedhprtchanges. No site or type of lesion predominated. Relative frequencies of gross structural alterations in the recoveredhprtmutants did not differ among the eight individuals, within limits detectable by the study. DNA from 201 of these 214 clones was also studied with a T-cell receptor (TCR) β gene probe as a marker for independence ofin vivo-derived clones. Some clones were also studied with a TCR γ gene probe. Ninety-four percent of wild-type and 89% of thehprtmutants were found to originate from independentin vivoprecursors. Therefore, most of the recoveredhprtmutants in the study were presumably derived from separatein vivomutations. For non-mutagenized adults with normal mutant frequencies,in vivomutant frequencies are thus reasonable approximations ofin vivomutation frequencies, although elsewhere we show that this is not necessarily true for individuals with grossly elevated mutant frequencies.
