Abstract excerpt
Neutrophils represent a potential source of genotoxic reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the tumor microenvironment. Using Mutatect cell lines, which can form subcutaneous tumors in syngeneic C57BL/6 mice, we have previously established that the number of spontaneously infiltrating neutrophils correlates with the number of mutations at the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (Hprt) locus. We now describe...
