Mice reconstituted with DNA polymerase β-deficient fetal liver cells are able to mount a T cell-dependent immune response and mutate their Ig genes normally

Abstract excerpt
The ubiquitously expressed, error-prone DNA polymerase beta (polbeta) plays a role in base excision repair, and the involvement of this molecule in the nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) process of DNA repair has recently been demonstrated in yeast. Polbeta-deficient mice are not viable, and studies on conditional mutants revealed a competitive disadvantage of polbeta(-/-) vs. wild-type cells. We show here that...
