Abstract excerpt
Xpa mice, which have a completely defective nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, have a cancer predisposition when exposed to several carcinogens. NER is one of the major DNA repair pathways in the mammalian cell, and is involved in the removal of a wide variety of DNA lesions, such as those induced by UV light, bulky adducts and DNA crosslinks. To study the role of NER in both mutagenesis and...
