Abstract excerpt
Wortmannin, a known radiation sensitizer, has been used in experiments with synchronized cells to compare its effect on radiation survival and mutation induction within the cell cycle. PL61 cells (CHO cells with an inactivated HPRT gene containing a single active copy of a bacterial gpt gene) were synchronized by mitotic selection. Wortmannin administered before gamma irradiation caused a greater sensitization in...
