Abstract excerpt
Mutational inactivation of hMSH2 or hMLH1 has been known to be responsible for microsatellite instability and cellular resistance to DNA-damaging alkylating agents. However, the effects of altered expression of hMSH2 or hMLH1 on microsatellite stability and cellular response to alkylating agents has not been well investigated. Previously, we have reported that downregulation of the hMLH1 protein was a frequent...
