Abstract excerpt
We recently established four lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) by infecting the peripheral blood of four Japanese patients suffering from Bloom's syndrome (BS) with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). During the course of propagating these cell lines, two of them exhibited dimorphism regarding spontaneous sister chromatid exchange (SCE), i.e., a mixed population consisted of cells with extremely high SCE levels...
