Abstract excerpt
To determine whether N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) can induce malignant transformation of human fibroblasts and whether O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG) is involved, two populations of infinite life span cell strain MISU-1.1, differing only in level of O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase, were treated with MNU and assayed for focus formation. MNU caused a dose-dependent increase in the frequency of foci in both groups,...
