Abstract excerpt
Cisplatin is a highly potent cytotoxic and genotoxic agent used in the chemotherapy of various types of tumors. Its cytotoxic effect is supposed to be due to the induction of intra- and interstrand DNA cross-links which are repaired via the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Here, we elucidated the mechanism of cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in mutants derived from CHO-9 cells defective in NER. We compared...
