Abstract excerpt
The mutagenicity of open-circular DNA (containing base damage and single-strand breaks) and linear DNA (containing base damage, single-strand breaks, and one double-strand break) produced in vitro by gamma-irradiation of shuttle vector pZ189, was analysed after the plasmid's repair and replication in the human lymphoblast line, GM606. By comparing the survival, mutation frequency, and types of mutations in...
