Although the idea of irradiation and fusion gene transfer was published more than 20 years ago (Goss and Harris 1975) and employed in an isolated mapping experiment ten years later (Willard et al. 1985), it was not systematically employed as a human gene mapping tool until resurrected by Cox and associates (1990) for constructing a high-resolution map of human Chr 21. Wholegenome radiation hybrid (WG-RH) mapping utilizing irradiated diploid human cells rather than single chromosome hybrids was revived by Walter and colleagues (1994) and has subsequently become a major tool for high-resolution mapping of the human genome. As reviewed by McCarthy (1996), panels of human radiation hybrids (RH) have been effectively utilized to integrate linkage and physical maps, to anchor or order large insert contigs, and to construct expressed sequence tag (EST) maps that already contain more than 12,000 entries and are growing rapidly. RH mapping has not been effectively utilized in constructing maps of other mammalian species, with the exception of the mouse (Schmitt et al. 1996). This situation is destined to change, however, owing to the potential of the technique for integrating linkage and physical maps. It is an especially powerful tool for comparative gene mapping, since chromosomal order can be established for expressed genes that are usually conserved between species but often recalcitrant to linkage mapping for lack of allelic variation. The bovine donor celll used in constructing this panel were a normal diploid fibroblast culture established from an Angus bull, JEW38. Nearly confluent flasks were trypsinized and suspended in Gibco DMEM without supplements. Approximately 10 7 cells were irradiated at room temperature in 10 ml suspension medium in a T75 flask. A cobalt 60 source delivered 185 rad/min for a total dose of 5000 rad. Attached cells were removed with trypsin, and all cells were suspended in ca/mg-free Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS), pH 8.0, at 106 cells/ml. One-half ml (5 x 105 cells) was removed as control and 4.5 ml used for fusion. The recipient Chinese hamster TK-fibroblast line A23 was kindly provided by David Cox (Stanford University School of Medicine). These cells were also suspended in HBSS at 106/ml, and 0.7 ml of this suspension was removed as control and 9 ml used for fusion. JEW38 (4.5 x 10 6 cells) and A23 (9 x 10 6 cells) were thoroughly mixed, pelleted, and resuspended. One-half ml PEG (Boehringer Mannheim polyethylene glycol 1500 in 50% sterile solution) was slowly added with constant mixing. After 2 min, 10 ml HBSS, pH 8.0, was also added slowly with gentle mixing. Cells were pelleted, then resuspended in 5 ml HBSS, pH 8.0, for 15 min at 37~ Each control line was exposed to PEG by the same process. The fusion suspension was mixed into Gibco DMEM to 10% FBS plus HAT (Sigma) plus 5 x 10-7 M ouabain to a total volume of 90 ml. Ten ml of this mixture was dispensed to each of nine 100-mm plates (approximately 1.5 x 105 cells/plate). Controls were mixed in the same solution and plated identically. All were incubated at 37~ in 5% CO 2. All JEW38 control cells were dead on day 7, while one A23 colony, apparently a TK revertant, sur-
