CHOC 400 is a CHO cell line that contains ∼1000 tandemly integrated copies of a 243-kb segment of DNA harboring the DHFR gene, the 2BE2121 gene, and a 55-kb intergenic region that were amplified by stepwise selection in methotrexate (4). The pattern of initiation of replication within the amplified locus is indistinguishable from that within the wild-type DHFR locus (70).

The percentage of labeled nuclei was determined by indirect immunofluorescence after incubation in extracts containing 250 μM bromodeoxyundine triphosphate. Similar results were obtained in four separate experiments, although the length of the lag period (10 to 30 min) and the total amount of DNA replicated varied with the batch of extract.
