Abstract excerpt
Using in vitro mismatch repair (MMR) assay, we have identified 3 of 22 esophageal cancer cell lines exhibiting reduced MMR activity. By means of gel-shift assay, decreased binding ability to GT mismatch and CA loop was observed in these 3 cell lines. However, we could not find any mutations in the hMSH2, hMSH3 and hMSH6 genes, the protein products of which exhibit mismatch binding activity in human cells. In...
