Abstract excerpt
The toxicity and mutagenicity (including the mutation spectrum induced) of dacarbazine, a methylating cytostatic drug, was examined in CHO cells expressing different levels of the repair enzyme O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). Expression of low or high levels of a transfected human MGMT gene under the control of the metallothionein promoter protected the cells against dacarbazine-induced toxicity...
