A method is described for determining the frequency of cells with a mutation in an autosomal gene coding for a membrane protein. Using a monoclonal antibody to H-2Kk surface antigen and magnetic cell separation (MACS) more than 10(4)-fold enrichment of the H-2Kk negative population was achieved, as tested with artificial mixtures containing a known number of antigen-negative cells. After a second magnetic sorting mutant frequencies as low as 10(-6) could be measured. The number of clonogenic mutants was evaluated by limiting dilution cloning and verification of the mutant phenotype by FACScan (flow cytometry) analysis in a representative number of clones. The spontaneous frequency of H-2Kk deficient mutants was 0.80 x 10(-6), and this increased after irradiation with 6 Gy X rays to 3.38 x 10(-6) within the next 8 weeks. About 50 mutant clones were screened for the presence of other class 1 antigens on the cell surface by FACScan analysis. All mutants continued to express other class 1 antigens.
