Abstract excerpt
Using a replica microwell method, four Chinese hamster lines which exhibit hypersensitivity to the topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin, designated CM1, CM2, CM3 and CM6, have been isolated. Their sensitivity towards camptothecin varied from 3.5- to 8.2-fold with relative sensitivity as follows: CM2 < CM3 < CM6 < CM1. Genetic analysis of the CM mutants has established that CM1, CM3 and CM6 fail to complement...
