Repopulating defect of mismatch repair–deficient hematopoietic stem cells
6 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Mismatch repair deficiency is associated with carcinogenesis, increased spontaneous and induced mutagenesis, and resistance to methylating agents. In humans, leukemias and lymphomas arise in the background of mismatch repair deficiency, raising the possibility that hematopoiesis is abnormal as well. To address hematopoiesis in MSH2-/- mice, we collected marrow and performed serial transplantations of these cells,...
