Abstract excerpt
The effects of deficiency in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein Pms2 were investigated using the endogenous mouse Hprt and Tk genes as reporters of intragenic mutation and loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Pms2(-/-)Tk(+/-), Pms2(+/+)Tk(+/-), Pms2(+/-)Tk(+/-) and Pms2(-/-)Tk(-/-) mice were bred from Pms2(+/-)Tk(+/-) mice. At 2 months of age, the body weight and splenic T lymphocyte yields were significantly lower...
