Abstract excerpt
Murine severe combined immune deficiency (scid) is marked by a 5,000-fold reduction in coding joint formation in V(D)J recombination of antigen receptors. Others have demonstrated a sensitivity to double-strand breaks generated by ionizing radiation and bleomycin. We were interested in establishing the extent of the defect in intramolecular and intermolecular DNA end joining in lymphoid and nonlymphoid cells from...
