Abstract excerpt
An Indian muntjac cell line, SVM, is unusually sensitive to cell killing induced by a range of alkylating agents. Cells transfected with the Escherichia coli ada gene or human genomic DNA have allowed the response of SVM to alkylating agents to be dissociated into two distinct components. Thus, in SVM, which expresses very low levels of alkyltransferase (AT), O6-alkylguanine appears to be the major cytotoxic,...
