Abstract excerpt
Human tumor cells in culture frequently show an infinite lifespan and are characterized by an abnormally high frequency of chromatid breaks after x-irradiation during G(2) phase of the cell cycle. This abnormally high frequency of persistent chromatid breaks results from deficient repair of the radiation-induced DNA damage. In three of four tumor cell lines, addition of a single human chromosome 4 from normal...
