Abstract excerpt
Constitutional loss or inactivation of one copy of a tumor-suppressor gene, as exemplified by hereditary retinoblastoma, increases the propensity for malignancies by reducing the number of events necessary for the complete loss of the negative regulatory function. We developed a selectable mutation assay employing a human lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) derived from a heterozygous carrier of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine...
