Abstract excerpt
To determine the types of mutations induced by oxidative damage, a kidney cell line with a heterozygous deficiency for the autosomal Aprt (adenine phosphoribosyltransferase) gene was tested for its mutagenic response to hydrogen peroxide. Aprt-deficient cells were selected and scored for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for 11 microsatellite loci on mouse chromosome 8. On the basis of the LOH analysis, spontaneous...
