ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a mammalian artificial chromosome (MAC), comprising a centromere and a unique cloning site, said MAC containing less than 0.1% of the DNA present in a normal haploid genome of the mammalian cell from which the centromere was obtained. The invention further provides a MAC, wherein the unique cloning site is a nucleic acid sequence encoding a selectable marker. The invention also provides methods of preparing a MAC. In addition, the invention provides methods of stably expressing a selectable marker in a cell, comprising introducing a MAC containing the selectable marker into the cell. The invention also provides a cell containing a MAC expressing an exogenous nucleic acid sequence and a transgenic mammal expressing a selectable marker.
