Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Irradiated cells transfect more efficiently than unirradiated cells because of a radiation-induced increase in plasmid integration. However, the molecular mechanism is unclear. Because of recent observations that nucleotide excision repair (NER) proteins can be involved in certain types of recombination in yeast, it was hypothesized that NER proteins might play a role in this radiation-enhanced...
