Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the extent of non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) in the mechanism of cisplatin radiosensitization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ku80-deficient cells are deficient in the non-homologous DNA double-strand break repair process, while the wild-type MEF cells maintain full mammalian cell repair capabilities. Both cell lines were exposed to clinically applicable doses of cisplatin (1, 3 and 6 microg x...
