Abstract excerpt
Mice deficient for the mismatch repair (MMR) gene Msh2 show accelerated tumourigenesis and a reduced apoptotic response to DNA damage of methylation type. Here we examine the effect of mutation for Msh2 on in vivo mutation frequencies in the intestine as determined by loss of function at the Dolichos biflorus (Dlb-1) locus. Spontaneous mutation frequencies were scored in cohorts of ageing mice either wild type or...
