thymidine kinase (tk) gene

0.01 sec.

a gene coding for thymidine kinase that is expressed in most mammalian cells and some viruses (herpes-, pox-viruses). Used as a selectable marker in that tk minus (tk⁻) cells and viruses do not survive in medium containing hypoxanthine, aminopterin and thymidine (HAT medium); such cells cotransfected with a vector carrying a tk gene (tk+) can be rescued.
